Vega

I come from the planet Vega In the constellation Megadore Every one of us eats plant food There’s not a single carnivore. To make our food taste better And here the plot thickens We use artificial flavouring To make it taste like chicken. Sometime for variety we even Make it taste like fresh fish Or even beef, ham or pork to Add some variety to our dish. I come from the planet Vega Where our diet is complete But some of us just can’t resist The tempting taste of meat. We only eat plants on Vega Not like your awful carnivore But we need to enhance flavour Because plants food’s such a bore

I am a vegetarian, have been since I was 15 years old, and back then Vego food was vegetables and nuts, then there came processed food in a can like dog food that tasted edible if you put tomato sauce on it. Then it all started to look like meat ! Bacon flavored vegie rashers, chicken nuggets that actually looked exactly like chicken - sausages that you could cook on a barbie.. It seemed like they were encouraging vegetarians to hide the fact. Your poem is great Terry and has the whole story wrapped up ! Love it.
