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!
