Sal Manila and His Thugs

by Greg Asimakoupoulos

Posted: August 29, 2010

Why McMuffin's crying "fowl!"…

Over easy? Well, not quite.
This egg-scare is no joke.
Ol' Sal Manila and his thugs
have tainted countless yolks.

Our morning meal's been tampered with.
McMuffin's up in arms.
To save his bacon he must find
a way to cure what's harmed.

What's poached, soft-boiled, fried or baked
is making people sick.
Let's hope the FDA police
can catch Manila quick.

The scare's not over. Far from it.
But we all can hope
that what is wrong can be made right
with each and every yolk.
