My Uncle Irv

My uncle was a vegan Back before that was a word. As kids, we always found His eating habits quite absurd. His veggies he refused to cut So there upon his plate Were carrots, leaves and peppers – We could really not relate. Especially because that meal Was on Thanksgiving Day. We stuffed our faces, laughing at His colorful display. If he were still alive today He wouldn’t seem so odd, Though I’m sure the turkeys way back then Considered him a god.
