Final farewell – Ode to the Meat
It’s been a popular verse for many a meat club, but as this decade draws to a close, it’s time to reach out and compose a new piece of poetic meat ballad. So farewell you have served us well:
“Man is a carnivorous production,
And must have meals, at least one meal a day;
He cannot live, like woodcocks, upon suction,
But, like the shark and tiger, must have prey;
Although his anatomical construction
Bears vegetables, in a grumbling way,
Your laboring people think beyond all question,
Beef, veal, and mutton better for digestion.”
Lord Byron (1788-1824)
