Welcome to Quick Fry.

We fry it up quick.

And give us your pick.

The crowd’s growing hungry

So please don’t delay.

Did I mention our specials change three times a day?

And if you like fries

We’ve got orange, blue or green

Blackened or raw, fluffy or lean

Shaped in a C, swirly O or plain L.

What font do you favor, Batang or Corbel?

What size would you like, puny or fat?

So what will it be?

Would you like fries with that?

    I admire your creativity, but this isn't helping my diet.

    Wow, that's some selection of fries! The colours and shapes I can believe, but do fat fries really exist in the USA?

    Those are some fries
    And look at you rhyming with your fry cries
    Of course that was fun to the cat
    Who wants to try and avoid all that fat

    Unless it's St. Patrick's Day, I don't want the green fries.
    That was great, Robyn! Funny and rhymed well.

    Judie and CJ, choco fries for you!

    Christine, sounds like a recipe for cardiac arrest.

    MsA and Ruth, thanks so much. Sometimes I literally sleep on it. I look at the prompt at 6am or so, go back to sleep, and the weird thoughts spew forth.

    Stephen, sorry. Think "blue potatoes" and your diet will kick in.

    GB, everything's fat in this country.

    PatHatt, a thin cat? Imagine that.

    IT, seriously? 1000 fries? I've gotta see (and eat) that.

    Viki, thank you.

    Thanks Alex. I don't even want them on St. Patty's Day.

    Ames, thank you kindly.

    Haha...great way to end the weekend...can I have in shape A4 with $$$ in between and I'll stick to Ariel or is that Arial?? :)

  18. BethNovember 27, 2011 at 6:06 AM

    Excellent!
    (Thank God I don't like fries - leaves more room for chocolate...)

  19. K.C. WoolfNovember 27, 2011 at 6:56 AM

    Fries and chocolate ... both are national dishes here, but never together, fortunately. *shiver*

    Great take on the writing prompt! :-)

    I actually love this Robyn, there's some seriously good writing in this! Extremely clever as always!

    Kath, thanks so much!

    Anita, choco fries for you too.

    Joanne, sorry. They are a good comfort food, though, in my book.

    Anthony, would you like it here or there? Would you like it anywhere? (This is a pathetic attempt to quote Green Eggs and Ham.)

    Rek, Ariel's two cents cheaper than Arial, so we'll go with that.

    Beth, anything that leaves more room for chocolate is wonderful.

    KC, I haven't tried the combo but I may have to now. Or not.

    Thanks Matthew.

    Robyn! You clever, clever girl!

    This was really neat!

    I'd definitely take the orange, lean, C-shaped fries.

    Acccckkk!!!

    Thanks for the smile. Your rhyming was superb!
