Two-and-one-quarter pound
        iron
 
        Two-and-one-quarter
        turns
 
        Two wings swoop --
            bird and shoe
            clench iron stake
            same time -- safe --
 
        A ringer!  

           My breakfast eggs were man-made --  
          The sausage -- bogus, too!
          The coffee was a bitter and
          decaffeinated brew.
 
          The cream was made from corn oil --
          The sugar -- saccharin!
           I couldn't help but wonder,
          where will all this end?
 
          For lunch, a veggie burger
          served on a paper plate.
          The fries were cooked in no-fat oil
          and tasted 7th rate.
 
          My stomach's asking for REAL food --
          steaks, chops and such ...
          With a world of things to wish for,
          That doesn't seem like much!
 
          Supper?  I'm not hungry --
          Perhaps, it's just as well --
          There's nothing on the menu
          that rings my dinner bell!
 
          I guess I'll simply waste away
          until I'm just a shell --
          Then die -- and spend eternity
          in Simulated Hell!
