Vegetarian Animal Lover

I will not eat meat for I think it is cruel,
I dine all the time just on bean sprouts and gruel.
Well that is a lie for I sometimes eat fish
And on rare occasions I’ve crabs on my dish,
For it is allowed to eat things from the sea
I’ve found vegetarians mostly agree.
And ducks are okay for they paddle about,
They’re sort of a web footed feathery trout,
And consuming chickens is perfectly fine,
They’re ducks with sharp noses and nice with white wine.
Which brings me quite neatly to bacon and pork,
I find them quite often on my knife and fork,
For pigs are like chickens to my careful eye,
Just give pigs some wings and I’m sure they could fly.
And cattle and pigs if you follow my brief
Are practically cousins, so yes I love beef.
But don’t think that I am a big hypocrite,
If I were served whale - no I wouldn’t eat it
Unless it was garnished with koala sauce
And served with roast platypus as the main course.
