Farewell then
Bennigans -
Bringer of
faux-Irish
to American
Suburbia,
Amazingly,
you wrung
huge margins
from the cheese-slathered skin
of
the humble
potato.
You were
the first
of your kind
to arrive,
and now,
the first
to depart.
Your green-roofed
carcasses
will litter
dead retail
centers for
years to
come.
Oh yeah, and
my first flame
was once
a server
for you...
and even way back then,
thought (rather articulately)
that "you
sucked!".
(With usual apologies to EJ Thribb and Private Eye)

How about a parody of "I think I'm turning Japanese", re US not so sub rosa bailout policy.
yes the sweepings under the carpet are making it look lumpy.
An excellent theme for a modern Japanese poem. I particularly like the "green-roofed carcasses". Many similar American genuine simulated faux imitation food chains also have signature roofs, suitable for immortalizing.
You pull the trigger! I die in the middle of a word.
My first love worked at Roy Rogers. We used to kid her about the "Trigger-Burgers".
She really looked strange in that cowgirl costume. . .
