Pink Slip

Mickey D’s not clownin’ any more.

Ronald’s been laid off, and is he sore!
His giant red hair wasn’t meant to scare,
but frightened little children to their core.
Killer clown with trail of beef behind:
hard to clear that from a youngster’s mind.
Kids know cow feed counts in climate change
and realize that Ronald’s not so kind.
It didn’t help he wore those blood red shoes,
his nose deep crimson as if fueled by booze.
He smells like burgers still, enough to make one ill.
A meat clown, as they say, is born to lose.
