OK, We Know You're Vegan 🙄

I'M A VEGAN!, I'm proud to say
No meats have passed my lips today
No dairy, cos I'm not vegetarian 
No fish, cos I ain't pescatarian

To serve me steak is very rude
I don't enjoy 'normal' food
Jackfruit burgers, nuts and seeds
And apples satisfy my needs

Guacamole, beans on toast
Edamame and peanut roast
Vegan tacos, enchiladas, 
Grains and carbs like rice and pastas

Posh vegans enjoy quinoa, 
Tofu, tempeh and polenta 
A hummus breakfast never ends
Plant-based haggis for Scottish friends

I eat nothing with a face
(folks who do are a disgrace) 
when I'm dining at the pub
Crisps and Nobby's (© ) count as grub

No sausage in my sausage roll
Or honey in my breakfast bowl
No chicken wings or breast or legs
And deffo not their offspring eggs

Soy and almond made me think 
Of what to add to a milky drink
A smoothie for my midday meal 
Of chia seeds with orange peel

Nutritionists will talk at length 
Re: eating spinach to maintain strength 
An option if you're in a hurry 
Is sweet potato and lentil curry

But too much yoghurt, veg and kale 
Leave me listless, weak and pale
So it's goodbye oats and mushroom pies
I now deserve a meaty prize 
 
HELLO, I AM A CARNIVORE! 
(well, technically an omnivore) 
If God wanted us to eat bland food 
Why do animals taste so good?
