McDonald’s
Twice I’ve been to McDonald’s in the last week
Each time to purchase a meal
Not really a wild concept I know
But neither meal was for me
It’s been the same McDonald’s
On Walnut at 17th
An urban store
With a gritty feel
Fast food moves kind of slow there
But both of my visits have been late
Near closing time
When the crew is just trying to wrap
That aside I was still able
To get a Big Mac
Two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese
Pickles, onions on sesame seed bun
Remember that one?
Well my guest for each of these meals
Was someone who was hungry
Someone who asked if I’d buy them some food
Not can I have some money
A nickel, a dollar or a dime
But rather would you please buy me some food
I’m hungry
Now I can’t solve the world’s problems
And I surely can’t feed all those that are in need
But there are two people
Who at least for a night
Had an All American Meal
A Big Mac and a drink
And they each said thank you.
