Fonty The Vegan Vulture


Fonty was a vegan Vulture. 

Other Vultures tried to offer their advice 

Told him they were created as carnivores and eating 
meat 

Is an essential part of their diet.

He stayed true to his commitment to be a vegan

Ate fruit and berries but they never satisfied his appetite 

He resulted to stealing stale bread from pigeons 

Crows kept him away from the cornfields

He was too weak to put up a fight

The Vulture Committee knew he wouldn't last much longer

Sure enough he died from starvation 

The Volt joined together as a Wake and all said a prayer 

Then they quickly ate him.

I wonder what Fonty's epitaph was. I must admit, I probably wouldn't eat a dead vegan, or even a live one.,
