Where Credit Is Due

****************************************


For some time it has been possible to buy "plastic" food at McDonalds and other fast food establishments using plastic money. Maybe that is what is wrong with the economy. Are we eating ourselves into inflation……?


****************************************

A marriage made in heaven. Magnificent !  Fantastic !
The burghers of this land can now buy burgers using plastic.
Needing real cash for plastic food had been a mismatch hellish.
The benefits now are Whopper-sized. We welcome them with relish.


Think of the psychological field day dissecting buyer's intent.
Why such an interest in cheeseburgers at an interest of 18 %?
Eating one's way to the poorhouse can generate fiscal shocks,
We used to be a wealthy nation, until we went to Jack-in-the-Box.


One used to need real money. Buying fries can now be a hobby.
If one buys the King-sized order, who keeps the carbon copy?
There is no fumbling for coins, ordering time does quicken,
With time to observe if McNuggets really do come from a chicken.

Disasters could easily be caused inadvertently by one's spouse
By taking the kids to McDonalds. They could eat you out of home and house.
We finally have been able to get the flat-screen video paid back,
Will we have to go into debt again to finance a Mac Attack?

Don't we have enough problems now? Running into debt?
Do we really need another way to into deeper trouble get?
To be finally clear of obligations, well mostly (of a sort),
With our luck this will lead to bankruptcy in a 2nd Burger Court. 

Look at the new found way to enter a bankrupt state.
Buying McMuffins on credit could financial chaos create.
It takes just seconds to pull a card and sit down to quickly supp,
But a hamburger ordered today ? Next month has need for catch up !

I laughed all the way to the bank! That was really punny.

Your satire is impeccable, especially since the movers and shakers of this world keep coming up with ways to fool the average fool's inability to understand even the simplest of economics, now well trained in the process of consumption for consumption sake.

So let's all super size in designer style, and have a good night.

I have a tip for you young man… Plastics.
