Wendy does her best to get across, but every time she tries they send her back…

Ode to Build a Wall

Wendy’s down at Taco Bell running for the border, but the Burger King, he sends her back, says, “I tried to warn her. This Wendy chic is on my turf, an’ Colonel Sanders, he ain’t happy, and while he’s not so much these days, the ol’ man’s still my pappy.”

“Call the Whopper,” BK shouts. “Tell him, bring the fries. It may be she has triples, but we’ll poke out her eyes. Call the Whaler, bring him here. Tell him to bring the navy, and when I’m done with Wendy her hair will not be wavy.”

War, it’s everywhere we look, part of everything we do, and inescapable as the saga of the Fast Food Wars continue with A&W Enters the Fray.
