The places I won’t spend my pennies,
are P. John’s, Cracker Barrel, & Denny’s.
But Chick Fil-A’s the foremost plate,
I pass on. Why? ‘Cuz they fund hate.

While others feast upon this chicken,
I turn away, my stomach sickened.
What is in it that makes me sick?
The corporate “Bible” politics!

Now there’s a NEW yardbird I’ve found,
across the land in every town.
Yes, bigot-free, I say. It’s true!
'Tis Popeyes bringing it to you!

Where else on Sunday can you find,
such taste — for but $3.99?
With friendly smiles and scrumptious smells,
and folks who don’t wish you to Hell.
