Elton Camp Poet Rhyme

A Memorial To Dead Cows

A Memorial to Dead Cows

By Elton Camp

Read this and laugh until you’re sick
It’s about PETA’s latest inane trick

In Illinois, memorials they’d install
For some cattle killed during a haul

In this way, tribute they would pay
And hope that they will get their way

The request is most likely to be denied
Only by relatives may such be supplied

So the only way PETA is going to win
Is to swear that to some cows they’re kin


(A note:  This is true.  Google it and see.
 in 2006, Virginia refused a request by 
 PETA to install roadside markers for 
 hogs killed in accidents on the way
 to slaughter at Smithfield Farms.)

Dylan Wong December 31, 2011 at 11:41 AM Hmm. This is amusing... but it reads more like a joke, and a really short one at that. Longer would be better. Still nice though :) Elton Camp December 31, 2011 at 12:10 PM Dylan, I assure that it is NOT a joke. Like I said in the footnote, Google it and see for yourself. It is a story in today's news. I often write about current events. As to length, I have written many more poems about the antics of PETA, so this one is limited to only their most recent escapade. Elton
