Let’em Eat Soup

T hese people

that begrudge me my juicy burgers
or my rare filet mignon

that look down their nose
at my slathered baby backs

or sneer with disdain
as I tear into a buttery veal chop

these people

their cutting condemnation
because I’m devouring
a cut of impeccably seasoned loin
like it’s some violation of nature

think about it

if this were’t the natural way
there wouldn’t be A1 sauce

and you’re going to tell me
Mr. Weber had zucchini on his mind
when he created his charcoal grill

I mean — please

these people

    1. Thank you for unique take on the prompt, Rob. And I will eat soup! Haha! 🙂

      I’ll just say I never condemn anyone for eating meat, and I even cook it on holidays for those who want it–but I don’t eat it myself.
