2. Let them eat veg

When vegetarians Sunday lunch with mates
In pubs, why should it be their portions lack
The mass their meaty friends have on their plates?
Should veggies get some of their money back?
This is not just that veggies don't eat meat,
That half a bird, a slab of cow or boar
Will make most carnivorous folk replete
Whilst roast tofu will leave one wanting more.
It's the injustice that carnivores get
More carrot, spud, sprout, broccoli, broad bean
Than veggies*, as if veggie raison d'ĂȘtre
Is to be starved and consequently lean.
To moderation veggies were not born,
So give them more not less veg with their Quorn.

*Noted after a survey of a number of vegetarians on their Sunday pub lunch experience.
