Each To His Own Taste

Each To His Own Taste By Elton Camp A display of canned squid in the store It’s a thing I’ve never seen before That food is fine as far as I know I’d never want to try it though To eat a squid canned in ink! “It’s so disgusting,” I think “Extra Quality” doesn’t entice I have no interest in the price Yet no logical reason can I supply Why this I’d refuse to eat or buy An animal with its eyes in place On my plate, I don’t want to face Likewise, I don’t regard a treat Cat, dog, snake or horse meat Call me a hillbilly if you will Eating squid gives me no thrill

I'm the pickiest eater in the world and could never be considered a "foodie". I also would never consider eating "canned squid" (BLECH!). Fun, comical write; enjoyed :)
