Sense Sonnet - Steamer

 The Burger King


Burger King, Inc., the fast food chain,

In the '50's chose to crown me

The Burger King, my job to reign

For more profitability.

I was costumed to look just like

A king, but got a plastic face,

With always a creepy grin, yike,

That in commercials made the case,

Buy my burgers and other stuff,

Which of course I was never seen

Eating, creepy grin made it tough

To shove a burger in between.


The company says I retired.

In truth, the new boss had me fired.
