Is It Really Chivalrous?
People are carnivorous
as is the crocodile.
Is it really chivalrous to eat meat without style?
People are piscivorous
as is the grizzly bear.
Is it really chivalrous to eat fish without flair?
People are herbivorous
as is the elephant.
Is it really chivalrous to eat plant without chant?
People are frugivorous
as is the berry-bird.
Is it really chivalrous to eat fruit without word?
People are insectivorous
as is the dark aardvark.
Is it really chivalrous to eat bugs without spark?
People are omnivorous
as is the masked raccoon.
Is it really chivalrous to eat all without swoon?
