Meat Or Veg
MEAT OR VEG?
With an empty bowl an owl may howl;
At drinking beer a deer may sneer;
Porcupine sometimes on pork may dine,
Or rabbit if they can’t break the habit.
I’ve often seen a snake ache for cake
Or a crane in pain for grain.
For pancakes a crocodile will smile for a pile,
For chaff a giraffe may laugh.
But if I was wanting to eat goose,
Standing here with my gun on the loose,
I’d be busy picking a gaggle -
If I wasn’t already gagging for a pickle.
