Sidney Beck Poet Verse

Meat Or Veg

MEAT  OR VEG?


With an empty bowl an owl may howl;
At drinking beer a deer may sneer;
Porcupine sometimes on pork may dine,
Or rabbit if they can’t break the habit.


I’ve  often seen a snake ache for cake
Or a crane in pain for  grain.
For pancakes a  crocodile will smile for a pile, 
For chaff a giraffe may laugh.


But if I was wanting  to eat  goose,
Standing here with my gun on the loose,
I’d be busy picking a gaggle  -
If  I wasn’t  already gagging for a pickle.

Chuck Keys March 27, 2012 at 1:57 PM i personally love the "new dill pickles" the more sour the better. at least you dont need a gun to hunt for a pickle - i hate guns. maybe instead of hunting game, we could capture the wild game, read them stories of our bold adventures filled with all of our lies and half truths - they'd get so bored, they would die on their own .. anyways great writing, thanks chuck
