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
let’em eat soup

really enjoyed your poem. the Dr hook song has always been a bit of fun.
Thanks Rog… 🙂
Sorry, Rob, but I couldn’t touch a juicy burger or filet mignon, let alone a veal chop – give me a hearty vegetarian soup every day!
Well Kim, a good soup is a great start for a delicious steak feast — so I eat soup as well. My wife agrees with you all the way Kim… 🙂
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.
Just a little tongue in cheek my friend… 😉
Ha… I do enjoy both soup and a piece of meat every now and then… (but please keep that A1 sauce)
A1 puts a bit zest in the steak — just like Worcestershire Sauce. I like both, but A1 is much easier to spell… 😉
Rob, yu have me slavering at the smell of your luscious loins – in a manner of speaking. And I am a facultative vegetarian, not a dedicated one like your lovely – and tolerant – wife.
My wife is practically a saint. Putting up with me for 36 years will gets one sainted… 😉
Rob, I guess its a hearty stew for you my friend. Haha to the A1 sauce.. it does have that special zing.
Love stew True, do you love stew too… 😉
Who wants to have a burger or filet mignon when there is soup? Hahaha 😀 I loved this take on the prompt, Rob!
Sanaa… 😉
I’m with you. Fire up the grill!
It’s smokin’ Helen… 😉
