The Cow's Revenge

Oh my tummy aches
something I ate I think?
like a cow?
“Geeezzzz, the pay backs a female dog.”
Been trying not to eat fellow mammals.
Been rewarded with a sweet tum tum.
But, my man’s a meat eater …growl
and I succumbed.

Oh my tummy aches
like an undigested third world country.
Well, even some of them don’t eat cows!
One really shouldn’t eat things with eyes,
in one end and out the other;
like a minority student in an inner city school
no child left behind
my behind.

Sometimes life’s a female dog
but why blame the sweet dog
Just don’t ingest anything with two eyes
and what comes out will be as sweet as what went in.

One more way of protecting the planet ... God made us all ... there is enough fruits, grains ... and nuts ... to sustain the world. It is a funny write, Deb, but an ironically truthful reminder of what we become on a meat diet.
