No Bun

Once I ate at a Burger King
visiting with my dear sister
We don't see each other that much
Lord only knows how I've missed her
Standing in line and cracking wise
she's older than me but shorter
Neither approached the cash register
until it came time to order

Both of us explain what we want
within the house of the Whopper
Their freaky mascot lives there too
The king that creeps out this pauper
Everything went spectacular
I don't mean to be poking fun
But the wheels came off the wagon
when she asked for hers with no bun

You've been to one and you've seen 'm all
while we're standing on their brick floor
The futuristic pop machine
That gate when you walk through the door
The look on the crew member's face
To clarify - he must ask her
Looking down at his food options
unprepared for this disaster

The request must be real bizarre
like raisins and artichoke
This woman serious right???
Or is this a practical joke
"No bun" he asked for the 3rd time
and for the 3rd time she agreed
That's when the manager stepped in
the only way this can proceed

Within moments the entire crew
with only two words they can say
An entire conversation
because she wanted no bun that day
The manager produced a key
and everything was understood
It must unlock the universe
and they're a secret brotherhood

Repeated one last time with a nod
before the implement was twist
And when they called our order up
this last detail - hard to resist
The 7 year rookie announces
nervously under the gun
Two burgers; 1 with no onion...
Excuse me - 1 without the bun
