My prose / poem "When It Was Just One Colonel Sanders" is about the founder, the face of KFC, Colonel Harlan Sanders who created the recipe for the chicken that he sold at his eateries....

 "WHEN IT WAS JUST ONE COLONEL SANDERS"

 

 

Once upon a time

There was a Colonel

All dressed in white

Who was selling

Delicious tasting chicken

Using a secret recipe

That he laboriously created

This business minded Colonel

Kept building upon his creation

Until an offer came along

To make his secret recipe

Of delicious tasting children

Not only a household name

But also a renown business

From a teenager on, the Colonel's chicken was one of my favorite fast foods. Nothing really beats the original recipe. And the reason the chicken is so well cooked and tender is that steam cooking process that Sanders developed in the late 40s, opening his first franchise in 1952. I remember most is appearance in those late 50s movies, always in character, selling his chicken to the auto cruising crowd.

Nothing to cluck at here, and there's only one Harland. I like the original best.

EXTRA Crispy, please! Nice one Steve! I also believe he started his business very late in his life. What MOST would consider retirement age. Amen! John Michael
