We hardly ever eat red meat now
And we only have the television
For news and sport, we’re almost
Vegetarian except for a bit of fish
Now and again, as for bacon we
Only ever have rashers and that
Is very seldom, less and less.
We could easily go without meat,
To be honest, we never miss it.
I was a vegetarian once, for six
Months and I had no problem
With it, “ You never mentioned
That before “ Oh: it was when
I was a teenager rebelling like
Everyone was doing back then!
And why did you go back eating
Meat ? Because the doctor told
My mother that human beings
Can’t survive without eating meat.
“Really"
