The Health-Food Diner
No sprouted wheat and soya shoots
And Brussels in a cake,
Carrot straw and spinach raw,
(Today, I need a steak).
Not thick brown rice and rice pilaw
Or mushrooms creamed on toast,
Turnips mashed and parsnips hashed,
(I'm dreaming of a roast).
No sprouted wheat and soya shoots
And Brussels in a cake,
Carrot straw and spinach raw,
(Today, I need a steak).
Not thick brown rice and rice pilaw
Or mushrooms creamed on toast,
Turnips mashed and parsnips hashed,
(I'm dreaming of a roast).

Health-food folks around the world
Are thinned by anxious zeal,
They look for help in seafood kelp
(I count on breaded veal) .////beautiful and interesting poem penned; I enjoyed

An enticingly delicious work from the crafty hands of Miss Angelou who was a fine cook of a poet. I agree with her, While vegetables are nice, meat is simply divine, while it is more environmentally beneficial to be a vegetarian, its a treasure to the taste buds to pound down on a nice juicy pork chop. Great pick for poem of the day.

No smoking signs, raw mustard greens,
Zucchini by the ton,
Uncooked kale and bodies frail
Are sure to make me run
to
Loins of pork and chicken thighs

and hot dogs by the scores,
or any place that saves a space
For smoking carnivores
Lovely poem.
