Eight-line Poems

Ray Kroc

Ray Kroc

It’s McDonald’s Day, to celebrate Ray,
like crocodile but spelt with a K,
and who better to sing his song
than Knopfler - he won’t get it wrong.
Only he could write about this,
with his gold-tongued guitar he’s made Ray his,
and so I stand aside for once,
when he gets busy I’m just the dunce.

Prompt: McDonald’s Day.
Note: The poem can be sung to the same tune as Knopfler’s song which may account for its apparently strange meter.
