The Bucket In the Sky

Oh, take me to the bucket in the sky,
where smells of fast food cooking tantalize -
a poultry paradise where no birds fly,
but come instead with biscuits, slaw, or fries . . .
where mashed potatoes may not be homemade,
but people seem to like them anyway.
They scarf them down with coke or lemonade
or mugs of root beer sometimes if they stay,
for you can order in or carry out.
You get your pick of many things to eat.
And if you don't  like breasts, no need to pout!
Just thank the Colonel. Now they've got REAL meat,
for beef and chicken reign in harmony
since A & W met K.F.C.!

Finger lickin' good!! Original Recipe for me if you please...NOBODY does it like the Colonel...A & W brings back a FLOOD of memories. I remember when they and Shoney's first opened in my hometown...Back then they were both strictly drive-ins with those tinny sounding speakers (Showing my age here) You've made me HUNGRY now and it's all your fault...Congrats my friend! - Tim

Goin' up to the bucket in the sky/ That's where I'm gonna go when I die/ When I die and I wanna eat some breast/ Gotta go for the chicken that's the best

A sonnet that KFC would be proud to display Andrea. Is this for a contest, or do you just love KFC? Sorry to say, last time I ate there several years ago, I got really sick. Haha. Good one!

NO! Absolutely not! You can't write about KFC and call it a sonnet. I don't care how tight your form is or if it is the perfect sonnet. If you write about Kentucky fried chicken it has to go under the form commonly known as "Cowboy". A Fav!
