A Gorgeous Drive-Thru (Revised)

A Gorgeous Drive-Thru
(Revised)
 
the thickened thighs,
that curdle like cheese
and jiggle as if a mold
of jello never lost its
shape, but grew with each
step, each turn
 
adipose arms,
that continue to wave
even after the hand has
stopped; they are exuberant,
joyful to meet a new face
a new body to perhaps hold
swollen stomach,
for centuries has brought
happiness to children, once
clothed in red felt; even
now the gentle sway
and plunge of fingers can tickle
 
bursting buttons
on jagged jeans,
‘tis a shame to ruin
a new pair; ‘tis embarrassing
that it even happened, like
ripping the seam while
sitting, one shall never speak
of it again
 
the constant cry
from tainted teeth,
oh how the dentist loves
to fill the black spots in
the enamel; sure it costs, of
course it hurts but it’s worth
the greenbacks to have another
bite, to taste that which claims
 
“have it your way.”
