Colonel Sanders
Maybe roasted salamanders
But he got the world  finger lickin’
With his recipe for Kentucky Fried Chicken

For Andrea’s contest

Funny how times have changed, isn't it? Now they don't even mention his name. He was so sure the franchise would fail that he took a cash settlement and no stocks. Congratulations, Jack!
