Things that look like meat. (Carnies in denial)

This is a little poem I wrote after looking at my wifes veggie options.


Things that look like meat,

They're not made from animals noses, lips or feet.

They're made by food technologists with Phd's in freezing peas,

Extruding Quorn in factories,

Things that look like meat.

With sausages they cheat.

More fat than flesh they're froze not fresh

They're squirted from a nozzle,

Not a sizzle more a sozzle.

Special offer and free trial for the carnie in denial.

Now you can have your feast with no part of any beast.

Don't want your beans to look like beans

This meaty treat aint what it seems,

There is no rind and you will find

This mixed up grill is in your mind.

The streaky bacons only fakin'

The whopper burger's without murder.

The mutton curry has no goats,

For me the taste sticks in my throat.

We thank the wizards in white coats

For things that look like meat.
