March 19, 2009 ODE TO ANIMALS
To the beast of burden that toil in the fields encased in a yoke there fate is sealed,they toil by day and into the night prodded by whips they put up no fight.
at the end of there days when strength they have none there served on a plate with rice and a bun, there carcase is fashioned into covers and chairs, there hooves are ground up to sell at the fair.
O noble equine how swiftly you run free on the planes with the wind and the sun,your captured and tamed and no longer free to race with the bison on the painted prairie
The budweiser name you wear on your neck, pulling a wagon on a never ending trek,and your final reward is a bottle of glue or Taco Bell or some other dog food.
The generous cow you give us your milk, we make cheese and dunk cookies in udders of silk and when you cease to stand or produce, we stun you and carve up and scarf up your juice.
O beloved turkey where would we be if you weren't so stupid and so good to eat,your giblets your legs your breasts and your beak yum yum we love you,you carnivore treat.
Last but not least the hens in the roost, those embryos you lay I like them with toast,at the end of your days we chop off your head, dunk you in boiled water your feathers are rent, then onto the grill with some BBQ sauce with corn on the cob and a salad we toss,yes here's to our friends who give all they got there loyal but yummy and sure hit the spot.
