Have you ever considered
the plight of potato chips?
Me neither, but
think about the grinding and crushing
after each crunching bite.
A future of digestive pulp,
passing down the esophageal tunnel
(with no bright light, and
grandma to greet you),
an acid wash in stomach holding, then
a colon coaster ride.
They are sold for this end,
brightly packaged and advertised,
“you can’t eat just one”!
There should be a note
printed between cholesterol,
and saturated fat content,
“you’re actively committing genocide
on this community
of thinly sliced,
deep-fried, salted spuds”.

awsome write, pat! gotta feel sorry for them murphies :)
Great job! A parallel with us came up when I was reading. Consumers can be identified with these poor chips in the digestive tract of the advertisement driven society.
Polona, yep I reckon so. I've never heard them called murphies. Thank you!!
Thank you Natalia!! Without advertisement America would shrivel up and die, or would we?
heh heh -- funny and a lot of room for interpretation
Shane, we should all have a cause, and I think I'm suitably fit to champion this one, as I am a recovering "chip-o-holic". If I can figure out how to stay on the wagon (crunch, crunch).
hey pat,
i made a comment on ur poets against plagiarism....
i like this one...pretty clever...
oh ya, thanks 4 stopping by!
The potato chip cause could perhaps benefit from a photo campaign showing exactly what is done to them. The things we rationalize...
*loud applause*
Cool, definately interesting.
pat, i’ve only discovered that because of your post. i had to check out “spuds” to make sure it meant what i thought it would (it did :)) and while there i thought i might as well look up for any other potato synonims. i liked “murphy” - for in my mind it further personifies the object as well as brings to mind the murphy’s laws.
(do i make any sense here?)
