What’s all the fuss? <br />France’s gastronomical foothold on French cuisine is about to take a nose dive, <br />I bet all would cuss. <br />At the Louvre, the epitome of fine art, <br />-where Da Vincis and Rembrandts which are on show. <br />Is where a McDonalds restaurant is opening, what a blow. <br />Parisians should drink a lot red wine, <br />To combat their future high blood pressure <br />--and cholesterol that would impede blood flow to their heart. <br />Beef Buorguinon replaced by a quarter pounder with cheese? <br />Or French Onion Soup being replaced by Onion Rings. <br />And at the Eiffel Tower is where they can build better Burger Kings? <br />Next to the paintings of ladies, that is somewhat ‘Reubenesque’, <br />The men and the women each will stand with a 2,300 calorie meal in hand, <br />Julia Childs gave us 'Mastering the Art of French Cooking', <br />Bet Julia Childs isn’t looking, <br />Because the fast food industry is consuming every bit of land. <br />It is certainly grotesque. <br /> <br />10-8-09<br /><br />Joe Rosochacki<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/french-fries-at-the-louvre/
