The grease in the deep fryer sizzles
she dips the
basket of donuts into hot oil
a few minutes and
out comes clumps of fried dough
drizzled in glaze
and spread out on a tray to cool.
Cost $2.95 a dozen
for small tasty sweets.
Eat one a day and
watch your thighs swell,
your cheeks puff
out, and your chin double.
Have it with a cup
of black coffee
you don’t need the
extra calories from sugar and cream
these dough balls
will do the job all on their own
they take a
youthful figure and plump it up
with rolls of
fat...opulence for the working class.
Eaten in offices
during coffee breaks,
shared with fellow
workers it’s an addictive taste
for police
officers and city employees
from the mayor to
the secretaries who indulge
on these morsels
of sugary pleasure
to break up the
boredom of public works
the drudgery of
paper shuffling
interfacing and
categorizing,
charging fees for
simple tasks
and retiring on 100%
salaries at 55
plump and fully
satisfied.
