The Burger King Blunder
In a moment of haste, a tweet was sent,
And soon after, it caused quite a dent,
Burger King, a brand with a name so strong
Found themselves in a situation so wrong.
On Women's Day, they made a quip,
But the message they sent, began to slip.
They belittled the role of women, in culinary art,
And soon enough, it ripped them apart.
The backlash was fierce, as people took note
Of the words that were tweeted, with a derogatory quote.
Burger King realized their mistake too late,
And tried to save face, get out of that state.
With a press release, they sought to atone,
And apologized for the message they'd shown.
They recognized their error, they took the blame,
And vowed to do better, never repeat the same.
In the end, Burger King learned well,
To think before they tweet, and not just quickly sell.
For in the world of social media, it only takes one mistake,
To cause a PR crisis, and for your reputation to break.
