Chili and Cheese Fries

figured it’s time

to visit Zippy’s again

not the restaurant

the take-out, where

food is less expensive and

you can still sit down

if you so desire

the cashier was pretty

but about fifty years

beyond my age group

I ordered my favorite

chili and cheese fries

the cheapest way to

seriously add calories

and shorten my life

especially with the

added Mountain Dew

my favorite drink

but Lord

is it ever good

beats healthy food

every time

there is no point in

living a long life

if you can’t enjoy it

sometimes I talk

to the other old geezers

but mostly I keep to myself

don’t want to listen to

another health lesson

that, I can get at home
