I eat meat

i like the meat yet i don't like the meat

i mean, i would rather not eat at all

especially not meat.

i see turkey, cow and bison, chicken faces, fish. --------

I know you said it would be alright and you were ok with this

I wish they could see my love for all this giving, mostly of your flesh. So here is chorus giving thanks, my friends and sustenance:

six blue jay calls and a cold february mornin.

the rest of the snow could be taken as a warning

the dogs at my heel and the chicken in the cage

the cat at the door once more, once more.

i love you so much

i wish i could love you more.

Verse 2

Shrimp and lobster, scallops, mussels, baby escargo

chicken, fried, battered, baked and crock pot – tandori on the side

and then i look at vegetables and see some faces too.

mushrooms, romaine, carrots, turnips

sprouts are eaten alive.

CHORUS

Verse 3

Dont even get me started on a pig or a pork, i can not look you in the eye

nor a lamb or a veal chop, no no no thats where i draw the line.

not goat, nor cat, nor horse, nor dog

well, maybe a frog.
