Cheating

At her behest, he'd sworn off meat
"She knows best," he's latched to the teat
      With calories halved
      Poor guy nearly starved
No wonder with steak he did cheat

This jerks at our funny bone in innocent fun. The imagery and story line presented is humorous and strikes a cord in our collective memories and minds. Emile.

Very witty, John! I'm not a vegetarian, but I eat little meat; I enjoy chicken and fish, though. Regards // paul

Me neither! Someone I knew turned vegetarian because their other half was. Not something I could do - I like my steak and my burgers too much! Getting some practice in for when you run your Limerick contest... hint, hint!! ;) Thanks for stopping by. All the best, John.
