On Stopping At Burger King On A Rainy Evening

[Don Cuevas]

On Stopping at Burger King* on a Rainy Evening
(With apologies to real poets everywhere.)

Whose foods these are I think I know
Belonging to the Pepsico
They will not see me stopping here
To stop and get some Whopper chow.

My friends must think it really odder
That I would eat some Whopper fodder
And wait in line so long a time
And pay a price that really bodders.

But I found the Fries were really nice
A Giant Soft Drink big and wet;
The tasty Whopper (barely hot.
I question if it’s worth the price.)

And with the swift approach of dark
We headed out of the narrow park
And tipped the guy who’d squeezed us in
Then headed home in rain and wind.

And if this poem a moral has
It’s this; that when you’re headed home
and hunger comes, the road is long
You’ll eat what’s there. It’s nothing wrong.

Good one!

Burger King is called Hungry Jack's in Australia.

Burger King is supposedly returning to France after a 15-year absence.

Thank god! Now you can cancel your plans to return to Los Angeles. (Although Chicago would have been a better choice, as it has one more BK than Los Angeles.)

[Don Cuevas]

Several months after composing that "poem", we were in the Guadalajara Airport, where they not only have a Krispy Kreme donut store, but a BK that will make you a tasty and juicy Whopper, whatever the hour. We ate ours at about 7:30 a.m. prior to a flight to San José, CA.

Try getting a Whopper out of scheduled hours at a U.S. BK.

The only chain that has made it to Cambodia is KFC. The local joints aren't so bad, they make every burger individually for each customer, which is why it's not fast food and you always have to wait.

Last time I was in Vietnam, they already had KFC also. And there was some local burger chain, but none of the international ones yet.

In Saigon they've got Lotteria, pronounced LottEria. A Korean burger chain. I went there once just to taste it, very sweet.
