LESS CLUCK BUT MORE MEAT FOR YOUR BUCK

 

            urban legend be damned!

          my 17 year old son has it on good authority

          (friend of a friend - no names)

          there’s some strange goings on  

          at those Kentucky Fried Chicken farms

          enough to make Colonel Sanders rise from the grave

          and sizzle in his own embalming fluid

 

          word is KFC’s legal title

          to a genetically enhanced hybrid of poultry

          little resembling mother nature’s original recipe …

          bigger breasts, larger wings - more muscular legs

          yet just as tender  - and whammo!

          11 different herbs and spices

          takes on a whole new meaning

 


my son further points out

          as we’re stuffing our faces with the evidence tonight

          the word ‘chicken’ can no longer be found

          on any of the packaging

          and faster than you can ask

          why did the mutant cross the road?

          gall darn - he was right - I checked!

 

          so the next time you’ve a craving for extra crispy

          and while licking your fingers

          suddenly get an urge to crow like a rooster on steroids

          can’t say a friend (no names) didn’t warn you!
