| FAST FOOD CHAIN By John Hansen There should be a diner That�s open all night Where busy wild beasts Could stop in for a bite. The menu wouldn�t have to be Very expensive But to draw a good crowd It should be fairly extensive. There�d be caribou nuggets For hungry wolf packs And a thick grassy stew For big hairy yaks. There�d be fresh flopping fish For slick barking seals And quarter-ton plankton burgers For enormous blue whales. There�d be wild berry pizza For grumbling grizzly bears And dusty hay salads For wild stallions and mares. There�d be smelly dead stuff galore For the jackals and buzzards And cartons of french-fried flies For fat toads and thin lizards. There�d be rodents with cheese For striped wild cats And deluxe mosquito burritos For squinty-eyed bats. Wild animals� weird tastes Make up the food chain. They all eat what they like, No need to explain. Which leads to a problem That could be a bother: What if the customers start eating each other? |
