McDonalds Express
- How can McDonalds get any faster?
I really had to think for a moment when I saw a McDonalds express. Surely McDonalds was a fast food "restaurant" already? I was told that they have a 30 second guarantee for serving your food after ordering. What is the world coming to?


McDonalds express, I've just seen a McDonalds express.
I couldn't believe that fast food could get any faster.
Apparently waiting for food causes some people distress.
For them to wait longer than thirty seconds is a disaster.

So now I think I'm waiting too long for my instant coffee.
I should forget the kettle and put the mug in the microwave.
I should start sucking glucose rather than waste time on toffee.
If I just swallowed the tea bag, there are minutes I could save.

McDonalds express, I've just seen a McDonalds express.
But didn't get a chance to see who was standing in the queue.
Just imagined a man in running shoes with a stomach to suppress.
I guess it's not the kind of food you'd wait for if you knew.

I'll have my "fruit to go" with no messing around with peel.
I'll eat my lunch through a tube without leaving my screen.
We'll be able to eat the stuff we like at any time we feel.
A fancy dinner won't be the waste of time it might have been.

McDonalds express, I've just seen a McDonalds express.
Could they give me a Big Mac and fries intravenously?
Put all the goodness in a pill with a concentration process.
Taking a McFlurry up my nose sounds a great idea to me.

But wait ...

Reducing the time it takes to refuel gives us more time for sport.
Having more time for work could be the secret of success.
So maybe it's not quite as crazy as at first I had thought.
McDonalds express, what a great idea: a McDonalds express.
