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 --------------- (C) John C Michaels, April 2017

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.
