[Newspoetry] FYI, KFC NYC

[Mike Lehman]

If it was a 22,178 pound drumstick
I would really be impressed
In this day of
Gene-modified comestibles
That would be a real sight
Especially if it climbed
The Empire State Building
Think of the size of the egg
And you'd realize
There'd have to be
One heck of a hen
Which leads me to ask
Which came first
The Chicken or the Egg?
