Everyone's going veggie.



               Everyone is going veggie!
    
            Everyone is going veggie,
            Eating red meat, I feel somewhat edgy!
             
            "Save the planet", "cut out meat"
            "Spread the message"! Isn't that neat!

            What about my red- cell count?
          - Anaemia will come, of that, there's no doubt!
    
            Leeks and Parsnips are great for fibre,  
           But meat's much better, I'll feel livelier!
        
           "Try this dish, you'll be amazed"!
           It's full of flavour- carrots and Maize!
       
           Soya, Tofu, it just never ends,
           my gut's in trouble, I have the bends!
          - Bending over, running to the loo,
           I'm full of veggie, broth and  veg' stew!
  
             A veggie death is taking place,
            My life cut short , my demise I'll face!
            Perhaps I'll ignore the media's advice,
            and tuck into steak pie , meat curry and rice!!
