A Laud to the Golden Ones by Nikki Roble

About seven percent cottonseed oil
And ninety percent of beef tallow.
If you eat it your healthiness will spoil.
If you jump in lakes you'll make them shallow.
If you are asking for diabetes,
Searching for some undefeatable cancer,
Or maybe coronary heart disease,
Then eating fries is the quickest answer.
But the crunchiness and softness taste great.
The warmth of each fry brings me such delight.
Why do they let me decide my own fate?
Eating these McDonald's fries feels so right.
I know this will only hasten my death,
But shall I eat more before my last breath.
