Taco Bell


     It's no secret for those who know me that I love Taco Bell. Yes, Taco Bell and I have been through a lot, so as such I have composed the following poem to celebrate our life together thus far.

Taco Bell, my lovely Taco Bell, how I adore thee.
We have shared a life together that I could have never dreamed of.
You are good for me in every way.
You provide nutrition, you taste great, you are affordable, you are good for my soul.
When I was young my parents tried to keep us apart,
but when I matured to driving age they could not keep me from you any longer.
You were the first meal my wife and I shared after we exchanged our marriage vows.
You were there for me when she told me she was pregnant again...and again...and again.
Yes, Taco Bell, you have been there for me.
Again in adulthood liars tried to separate me from you by accusing you of using fake beef.
However, we locked arms and stood firm until the charges were dismissed,
and the accusers fled in utter humiliation.
I never doubted your sincerity.
I remember working at Dairy Queen next door to you.
I would venture off on lunch break to be with you in secret.
Even though our relationship was concealed at the time, I knew it wasn't wrong.
Some of those who know us mock and ridicule our love,
Pay no attention to them, for they are just jealous of what we have.
What does the future hold for us my love?
I don't know, I cannot say.
I do know, however, that whatever comes we will face it hand in hand.
And we will be together all the days of our lives, my Taco Bell and I.
