foodie poem #5

a friend lately led a class to china
saw many wonders took tons of pix
one sight was not so palatable at the
zoo you could purchase a live chicken
or even an entire cow and feed it to
the lions you could buy just a haunch
of meat if you were squeamish or
watch a movie of a tiger tearing into
a bellowing bovine here’s a way to
save public money we should suggest
to our henson robinson zoo how about
for-sale bunnies to feed their big cats
