Paean To A Non-Vegetarian
"Eat your veggies," as a nipper I was told
but I'd hide 'em on me lap so Mum wouldn't scold
then all the quicker feed 'em to the dish-licker
before they were even cold
now I'm older not sadder but wiser
and do enjoy a tasty appetiser
they may appear to look like a pear
here's a myth I wish to quash
tho'

Vegetarian Plight
Eat everything that has the best
Vegetarian plants to yourself
Beautiful people are happy to see.
Everything is beautiful that I plant
I don't plant much, I can plant enough
To collect enough to take care of it.
Plant everything that is useful to you
Plant near to your house and backyard
Vegetables, spicy plants and herbs.
As your

Green Needs
Indigo moods within my chest
Not choosing foods like chicken breast
I’m gently beginning vegetarians quest
And I’m pretty hungry I must confess
I still eat butter I still eat cheese
So I’m not exactly following lead
Of strict vegans who’d turn up nose
Because I haven’t let dairy go
Now I do enjoy almond milk
The taste of cows milk makes me

Being Veggie :1000:
Here I am.
From top to toe
A meat-free human
Don't ya know
People asked me
Why the shoes?
I do not eat them.
I'd often muse..
But now I'm older
And life's moved on
With larger issues
To dwell upon
I'll soon be forty
Years a veg.
No highland castle
Or trust fund hedge
My account is clear.
My conscience too
But still with plenty
More to do
It

Vegetarian Fox Our Cabbie
Vegetarian fox offered his services to me.
The other bunnies said no until they knew he was free.
He’s a cabbie, I said, and he takes all kinds about.
They watched him carefully for years with bunny minds full of doubt.
Vegetarian fox finally asked us for a dollar a night.
The bunnies refused, they are incredibly tight.
Since we get

Honored Vegetarian
There was a beef lover under duress
for mocking leeks and watercress
But meat he’s rejected
so he’s now been elected
to give the State Of The Onion Address

A truely remarkable act of
Protection of wild life and pets

A future memorial day

I Am I Am a Vegetarian -
If a cat could talk
Would he bark
If a bird could meow
Should he fly?
Man am I hungry
If a mouse ate pizza
Would it be topped with anchovies
I dunno No I like my fish raw with milk
Yeah, still am hungry
If a dog had 2 tales (tails)
One for waging and one for lying
Would he be

No Reacting
Not reacting you can stop the pain,
Not reacting you can change the fate
Not reacting, when the world needs your voice
Not reacting, when there is no choice...
Being passive, when the world needs your action
Living only for your own satisfaction
Your own personal cell is the whole world for you
Take a look outside someone

and are led by adult males, known as silverbacks
They have a vegetarian diet, for their life of culture
spreading the seeds of
