Cheryl Hoffman Poet Light Verse

Secret No More

Like Goober from Andy Griffin he couldn't keep a secret
knowing all about the twelve top secret ingredients
the mystery is gone now everyone in the world knows
Colonel Sanders nephew putting on an innocent show,

Since 1930 people ate his original fried chicken
they loved it so much afterwards gave their fingers a licking
just ordering the chicken had its air of mystery
so secretive the CIA top agents were frustrated and filled with misery,

Poor Colonel Sanders has long passed but its so sad
the recipe of his original fried chicken now out of the bag
now people will make it in their own kitchens at home
leaving all the KFC's empty and employees all alone...

Freddie Robinson Jr. May 18, 2017 at 12:28 PM Good informative poem, Cheryl. Fret not though, I don't much like to cook nowadays, so KFC will get my business still. Cool poem, dear. Love always.

Mike Hauser May 18, 2017 at 8:19 AM My dad LOVED KFC! When he was in Japan...years ago they were opening a KFC there and he made it to the Grand Opening. The Colonel was there and sat down and had lunch with my father. Loved it! Great poem...though very sad. Cheryl Hoffman May 18, 2017 at 9:22 AM Wow Mike that is unbelievable! The colonel was probably dressed in his all white suit with black tie and horn rimmed glasses; what a treat that must've been for your Dad! Thanks so much for very kind comment and visit Mike!~Che :)

Lim'Rik Flats May 17, 2017 at 9:46 AM Dang! I must have missed the "revealing of the secret!" My belly fat will attest to my love for KFC though;-) btw, the new revolving "Colonel Sanders" just doesn't cut it IMHO. Love the CIA bit! Cheerdunkins! ~ j Cheryl Hoffman May 17, 2017 at 7:06 PM Maybe the recipe is still on yahoo somewhere, then you can make yourself some, yum! Not for me though because I don't eat meat; glad you enjoyed my silly poem John! Cheerdunkins~Che :)
