Tony picked up a sharp knife from the Diner's table
and holding it to the seeded throat
of yet another Big Mac...he sealed his fate
Too much special sauce on too much white bread
devoured over the short life span of forty plus years
had made this obese maniac act out his fantasies
Ordering super sized drinks and fries with that
Was this only the beginning....or the tragic end
to what could be or could have been?
The flies were busy snatching sparse crumbs
from the discarded body parts of the beefy deceased
as a single sliced pickle was held hostage to his hunger
between two swollen fingers and an oral garbage disposal
Savoring it for last as if it were a fine cherry topping
Even the accumulative effects
of iodized sodium and fried onion rings
seemed powerless to bring this monster down
As his heinous appetite seems unstoppable....
Perpetually......Fade to Black___
