Vegetarian Thanksgiving
Tofu shaped like a bird
something else made of bean curd
Glub of globs passing for grub
with the texture of slime left from a slug
Vegetarian Thanksgiving
you got to be kidding
If the pilgrims had this to eat
they would have gone back to Europe in defeat
It's just not Thanksgiving without meat
Thanksgiving dinner won't be complete
Turkey, ham or even a goose
if it's leafy and green that's abuse
Prime rib, duck or even fish
if you want to be thankful eat a meat dish
This is a time for caring
a time for sharing
a time to be thankful and atone
by sinking your teeth into roasted flesh ripping it from the bone.
Vegetarian Thanksgiving
not while I'm living
Feed me that golden brown turkey
with twelve cornish hens
And a bucket of KFC chicken
surrounded by a platter of sliced glazed ham
Now I'm thankful, I'm thankful
Oh Lord lets dig in.
