Kevin Shaw Poet Rhyme

Anthem For a Veggie

Anthem for a Veggie

Never gonna roast no chicken
Never gonna braise no steak
Never gonna grill no lamb chop
Eating meat, I’ll not partake.

Never gonna fry no sausage
Never gonna boil no ham
Never gonna barbecue burger
Feast only of the fields and Yam.

Won’t feast on Yuletide Turkey
Won’t feast on fatted goose
Won’t kill no moorland partridge
Saving pheasant from a noose

Won’t skillet no wild venison
Won’t stir fry country hare
Won’t eat any creature that lived
Because it’s wrong and so unfair

Line Gauthier October 22, 2018 at 9:45 PM Charming poem, Kevin. Three cheers for Tofurky - feast for vegetarians "equivalent of turkey" made out of tofu.
