They promise, they guarantee
Eat green to stay in tune
Five times each day
Non stop on that train to full health
Satisfying farmers and doctors alike

Neat flowery sticks of broccoli
Rammed down an irritated throat
Begging for beef when beef makes no sense
Changing the tune of dietary ignorance
Assisted by knowledge and care
No prickly flat or watery satisfaction
Dreading the consequence of abstention
Cooked or raw and filled with hope
Energy from nature and not from an abattoir
The savior for all who eagerly abstain
