Sooner or later we know it had to be, the burger wars have crossed the pond, the heroes are the outlaws, and the end we cannot see.

Burgerilla, he left town, he’s off to Hungary leaving Burger Chef behind to take the gunnery. Armed with chilli cheese nuggets at 1590 ft he has the height advantage that helps him rule the street.

He’s hanging out with Wendy, loves her chicken breast. She’s watching him so closely, will he pass her test? She made her way to Europe looking to recruit a champion to take down the clown, and get her all his loot.

BK stands at a distance, for this he never planned. His general, the Whopper, is waiting his command, but out there in the distance, Roy Rogers, he does sing, “I’m on my way to save the day, and have a little fling.”

So while Burgerilla and Wendy seek to form a burgerhood to take down the king and the red headed clown, in the distance a lone voice sings, “Happy trails to you…”
