If we ban alcohol for kids
So they won’t drink themselves to death,
Or enact statute that forbids
Their scrambling their brains on meth,
Or even smoking nicotine,
Why not what makes them look obscene?
Skin-deep, I don’t mean. I mean fat
That lards until it’s hard to walk.
Another diabetes stat
At whom the other children gawk
Until a loss of self-respect
Can also kill if left unchecked.
And yet Mcdonald’s puts a toy
In what it calls a Happy Meal
In order that the kids annoy
Their parents with a rotten deal:
For burgers, sodas and french fries
They’ll stop their Pleeeeease? and dry their eyes.
In San Francisco, there’s a bill
To bar the toys unless the plate
Has fruit and veggies that can fill
Those tummies, putting on less weight.
Less sodium and sugar, too.
Tell Ronald and his gang, Go screw!
