McDonalds

I broke up with McDonalds

On Valentine's day

People said she was no good for me

I had to get away

So I told her, It's not you,

It's just a phase I'm going through

But as we all know -

Dumping fast food is not a pleasant thing to do.

So I broke up with McDonalds, didn't see her for a while

Was doing pretty well - there was the occasional drunk-dial

When I walked up to the window

And I slipped into the queue -

But then I came back to my senses

And realised the thing to do...

Was to keep on walking

Keep on walking

Right past her

Ignore the temptation

To suckle

On those golden arches

Ignore those bed-like burgers

And those oh-so-easy fries

Divide our shared world up

And sever all ties!

Yes! I broke up with McDonalds and my life is better for it

When my girlfriend serves up rabbit food I simply adore it

I was scared of life alone with no kebab to walk me home

But...

      What I once spent on burgers...

                                                     I now spend on...

                                                                                 Haribo!

Oh Haribo! Haribo!  

You are a fruit tree in a sack

And although it feels wrong to see you

Behind my girlfriend's back

She can not be hurt by wrongs she does not know!

No - the new love of my life is Haribo, oh Haribo!

But then one evening after work

My girfriend came home early.

Caught me curled up on the couch  

Soaking up her girly  

DVDs

In front of me

A bowl of

Not nuts, nor seeds...

But fizzy, yes fizzy,

Cola bottles  

That were  

FIZZY!

How could you do this?

My girlfriend screamed at me.

Cannot you see the damage that they do-eth to your teeth?

(She'd been reading Shakespeare)

No, my eyes are on my face, I can't see in my mouth.

Right, she said, If you think I'm joking then I'm going to kick you out.

So she kicked me out the flat and that was that she said.

Not quite...

I grabbed my stash of Haribo from underneath the bed.

I told her all the things about her that I really hated

 

And the moral is:

Relationships with things that you can't eat are over-rated.
