Ode To A Vegan
Ode To A Vegan
by Freddy Bosco
To you, I confessed to eating
An omelet, which, because
It was a garden omelet, I felt
You might speak kindly.
I hoped, at least, for a reprieve
From your insistence that I not
Consume any animal product.
I guess I knew you’d say “peu”
That I ate eggs. “They’re gross,”
You reacted, telling me they do
Terrible things to the body,
That they’re stolen from animals
And are environmentally harmful.
I know you to be a vega
