DORITOS INVENTOR BURIED WITH CHIPS

The man who gave the world its first Dorito
has died and his remains were then cremated.
A crunchy, salty chip that later Frito-
Lay produced had come from him and sated
taste buds, drawn to spicy Nacho-Cheese
as flavoring, while global markets sold
billions worth. And it would surely please
the dead inventor that upon his cold
urn of ashes mourners tossed these chips,
the ones he relished up until his end.
Biodegradable, but without dips,
man and snack, the same, now mix and blend.
While to the heart the quickest path's the tummy,
the worms will find such carbohydrates yummy.
