The Health-Food DinerBy: Jordan Wilson

Theme: being a vegetarian is unenjoyable

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).- He is craving a steak instead of the healthy Brussels, carrots, and spinach.

The Health-Food Diner

Not thick brown rice and rice pilau Or mushrooms creamed on toast, Turnips mashed and parsnips hashed, (I'm dreaming of a roast).- He loves meat so much that he dreams of it.

The Health-Food Diner

Health-food folks around the world Are thinned by anxious zeal, They look for help in seafood kelp (I count on breaded veal).- He says that even vegetarians try to cheat at being a vegetarian.

The Health-Food Diner

No smoking signs, raw mustard greens, Zucchini by the ton, Uncooked kale and bodies frail Are sure to make me run- He is saying that he would run at the sight of healthy items.

The Health-Food Diner

Loins of pork and chicken thighs And standing rib, so prime, Pork chops brown and fresh ground round (I crave them all the time).- He salivates over the thought of meat

The Health-Food Diner

Irish stews and boiled corned beef and hot dogs by the scores, or any place that saves a space For smoking carnivores.- He will go to anyplace that serves meat

The Health-Food Diner

This poem makes fun of vegetarians by saying that they can not eat anything delicious like meat and that they have to eat nasty stuff like veggies.
