As busy as a highway
Thousands of people walk around everywhere
As hungry as a herd of hippos
As crowded as a New York pub
When the bell goes DING!!
They all run out like Usain Bolt
Just to get a feed
As pushy as a line of men
As smelly as a pack of dead hens
Waiting in the line for ages
Until they say, "What would you like?"
Choosing what to get
As you stare with a glance of YUM!
Pay for your food
As you run in joy
For you're OUTTA THERE
Now; my time to eat!
