My Vegan Poem
contains no owls
or cormorants;
but, it does contain vowels
and consonants –
it would look rather silly
with owls and cormorants in,
wouldn’t it?
When there is one last fish in an ocean,
One last cow in a field;
will the people then have a notion,
that the cost was worth more than the yield.
When there are no more Dodos in Tesco;
when a shamb shank is all that they sell;
when your mixed-up grill,
is just a mixed-up girl,
packing your biscuits in twos –
Singing:
‘and the animals went
in two-by-twos…
… and there were none of them left in the morning’.
For plant-based food, that hits the spot,
try Kind in Looe, you’ll like what they’ve got.

We received our Vegan wake-up
call in the post just yesterday;
now we use Vegan soap and Vegan make up
all the day;
our food habits have drastically changed,
our ideals have been totally rearranged;
we are not the people that once we were;
we don’t eat animals, we don’t wear fur,
our shoes are made of recycled plants;
and we don’t talk about it,
if given half a chance.
“As this is the House of Green,
please could you keep your poetry
a trifle clean,
for the word of the obscene is best left unseen;
or best left unheard –
if you know what I mean;
perhaps you could, please, rephrase the vulgar tongue
in any fine poem that you have brung-“
‘What The Fibre!’ I hear you cry.
‘You ought to have said ‘brought’,
you… silly guy.’
“And, at that, we shall begin,
with all the curses to the bin.”
There was a young lady from France
Who only ate seeds, nuts and plants,
She was kind to the planet
Her name n’était pas Janet
And she stove to give les animaux une chance.
