The Vegan King Looked across the table At his son, Wondering where he had gone So wrong And what would become Of his kingdom Once he had passed on His mantle To a vegetarian.

The Vegan King
The Vegan King Looked across the table At his son, Wondering where he had gone So wrong And what would become Of his kingdom Once he had passed on His mantle To a vegetarian.
I misread the title of a novel being read opposite me on the tube: The Vegetarian  by Han Kang.  I thought it read 'The Vegetarian King'.  You take inspiration where you can find it.
