A Golden Arch Trio
Your note sent me darting straight out the door to check out the brand-new McDonald's down the street! I slipped inside during the morning lull and hopped onto an empty booth bench by the window. Right on a clean paper tray liner sat an opened box of hot breakfast hash browns, with three long, crisp golden French fries that someone had dropped beside a shiny red dipping tub. I couldn't resist! Gripping the first warm fry with both plush arms, I stood it up like a pillar, braced the second beside it, and leaned the third across the top to craft a glorious golden arch. When the automated fryer chime sang beep-beep-beep across the counter, I froze instantly on one red foot with both arms flung wide in a proud grand-opening salute!
