Analysis of When the Golden Corral Becomes the Ok Corral
I saw on the news outside of Philly
A Golden Corral where it got kind of silly
A massive brawl happened over there
Customers started throwing their chairs
Then I saw a few people throw a punch
While others were trying to enjoy their lunch
It got started because of some impatient diners
They didn't care that around them were minors
What do I not get? What did I miss?
This isn't Morton's, this isn't Ruth Chris
It really is just a below average steak
But it does come with salad, wings and cake
Is the Golden Corral steak worth fighting for?
Is that grilled steak worth an all out war?
People turned mole hills into a mountain
Can't they just enjoy their chocolate fountain?
If I had been stuck in that battlefield
I would have grabbed my tray and used it as a shield
For a weapon I guess I would have grabbed a fork
And at their eyes thrown some BBQ pork
Then I would get out quickly with a head of steam
With a tray in one hand and in the other my ice cream
At a buffet that advertises "kids eat free"
But during that day kids needed to flee
What is up with people becoming feral?
Next time I suggest go to Cracker Barrel
