LE BIG MAC

Fall of Rome,Fall of War,Fall of Dollar-and it is Fall!(again!
One Big Mac is $2 China$4 France$7 Japan $9-
Yuan rises like a sleeping tourist/battles yen in
South China Seas where fishermen gather in fish stocks
for a $2 fishburger,find themselves in the fish fry
Even Swiss cheese buys more burger than our currency-we
cannot afford more Chinese take-away,as they send us
contaminated prawns,melamin milk-foodstuffs condemned
We cannot afford to eat out on the world's stage
This takeaway in trade is bad for our digestion
We cannot stomach declining appetites like birthrates
Who will eat American Hamburger Happiness?
How can we sell these arms to people with none?
Are we too slow for fast food?Shall we sell off Golden Arches
as the price of gold skyrockets?To the Emerging World
fast becoming the Front Line World in the ALL YOU CAN EAT
smorgasbord of currency market manipulations?
Would you like fried civilians with that order,Sir?
