Please pass on the salt and ketchup,
don't forget the maple syrup

for our government cafeteria no longer serves
french fries and french toast

that's OK,
for I prefer baked potatoes
and oatmeal anyway

don't forget to clean out
your freezer and cupboards
of all those
politically incorrect foods

someone must be bored, with nothing
more constructive to do
than to re-name popular foods
because of politics

France didn't invent french fries, anyway.
LOL, guess you've just gotta laugh at this one.

And I like French toast, French fries, French kisses.... what's the big deal anyway? LOL

We'll simply put a leash
on foods like crepes and quiche
and please no more champagne
to cause political pain.

Nice write and thoughts. KJ

The yawn of a dawn will hasten the light

Not a laugh, for it is too true. Lay that stick on my fire, for it is well done..very gentle smile
