new hand-breaded chicken
tenders and wrappers
barbecued pork melt
cheesy popcorn
Chicago-style hot dogs
and caramel chew ice cream

push and slam in the mosh pit
while those free-flowing cousins
named glucose fructose and sucrose
crowd-surf and flail

causing riot police to be called in

to quell yet another
disturbance of
gastroesophageal reflux
