Honorable Mention
The Diet Police
R. D. McManes (Mac)

I went to the local fast-food place.
Burgers or chili dogs,
ninety-nine cents specials.
Started out with a couple
devoured on the spot.
Licked a finger or two,
then ordered two more
for those cravings,
that always come later.

I was tooling down the highway
minding my own lane.
Red lights appear
in the rearview mirror
so I pull over and out pops
a skinny ass patrolman.
He checks my license
and I thought all was cool
then he asks me to step out of the car
and says with a smirk, (the jerk)
“Is that a hotdog I smell on your breath ?”
to which I reply “yes”.

He asks what’s in the bag
“One burger and a dog.”
Dead to rights and I couldn’t lie.
He pulls out a fast-food breathalyzer
and asks me to blow.
Beep, beep, beep, over the limit
I shouldn’t have eaten those fries.

One week later and
here I sit in diet jail.
One count of open bag with intent
and driving under the influence
of a waist altering drug.
