Burger King adds ten new items to its menu and fast-foodies don’t give a tinker’s cuss — but when McDonald’s places a new pie in its pantheon, people froth at the mouths, demanding as many as they can get their soon-to-be-greasy mitts on, blogging about them and not minding the price hike for this new “premium pie” (the regular ones have been on the McDollar menu two for $1 for a while now, and the new ones are $.89 each).
So how premium is this pie?
Enough to inspire poetry. A trilogy of Collom lune haiku, in fact. Call it pie-ku.
Oily cookie pie
The accent grave is dumb.
I want another.
Two small boxes
Only burnt sugar left inside.
There’s a third.
Pudding and jam
I should be sick now.
McDonald’s sells drugs.
