Rockin’ Robin

Red Robin, he flew into town on a mission to take down the clown. He was loaded with Q, but he never knew Ronald was waiting around.

The Big Mac attacked, trimmed Robin’s wings back until, he found himself grounded, so Robin, he chirped, “Sound the alert! Our intel, it’s simply not founded.”

“Load up Brisket Chips, and Lemonaid cake, and cover the clown macaroni. Corn Doggies will do to carry us through. Clown burgers, they taste like bologna.”

Like most wars, the Fast Food Wars have continued for centuries. In Roman times bread and stews were served in popinas. In the 12th century the Chinese ate fried dough, soups and stuffed buns when on the go. The Baghdadi enjoyed processed legumes, breads, and ready-to-eat meats. In London and Paris it was pies, pasties, flans, waffles, wafers, pancakes and cooked meats feeding a fast food war that continues today.
