I’m not a rabbit
don’t make me eat salad
I like potatoes and meat, me
you can
put in sweet herbs, if you like
to season it right
but give me steak, pork, chicken every night
.
I’m not some herbivore
so don’t make me
eat boring veggies, wait
I do like a bit of fruit
or the odd carrot, but I’m not a rabbit
.
What’s that you’ve got?
A bit of pumpkin and a turnip?
I’ll have that
Some swede and courgette, I’ll take
you can
put a bit on the edge of my plate
maybe some marrow tomorrow
perhaps some beetroot, as a boost
.
however
I’m not a grazer, me
you can’t, so
don’t make me eat greens
no peas, lettuce, beans
just leave them be, maybe
in the corner of my plate
if I get sick of potatoes and meat or
in case of constipation
I may consider them a treat
I may eat salad, you understand
just as a tonic
but I’m not a rabbit
