Vegilantes

I heard it at the garden gate
Carrots, turnips, all irate
Lettuce, sprouts and green beans too
Angry vegetables in a stew

“We’ve got an image to protect
So how come when a car gets wrecked
The headlines scream the victim’s fate
‘He’s in a vegetative state’

Now veggies aren’t a brilliant bunch
Less intellect, more taste and crunch
But we hurt from this cruel campaign
Comparing greens to scrambled brains

Help put an end to all the fuss!
‘Carnivorous state’ works for us”
