Chef Boyardee

There was a great chef who was born in Piacenza, Italy.
This man eventually became known as Chef Boyardee.
Boyardee made great food while he was alive.
But sadly this great man passed away in 1985.

He used to give people food to take home in his restaurant.
His food is still being sold today and it's what people want.
He supervised the catering for the reception of President Wilson's second wedding.
When he died twenty-six years ago, it was what millions of people were dreading.

I ate his food when I was a boy.
His food brings people a lot of joy.
I used to buy his lasagna kit on my mom's birthdays.
The world lost a great italian chef when he passed away.

Thing like that drive me
