I can’t be a vegetarian As I don’t like green things from the garden I don’t like things in pods They taste better from a tin if I must But I do like eggs with mushrooms Hash browns and tomatoes With a few rashers of bacon on the side
I can’t be a vegetarian
Roast cabbage just isn’t nice
And cauliflower only works in cheese sauce
But my yorkie puddings and roasties
Need something more
Thin slices of beef, roasted rare
I can’t be a vegetarian
Because I will not eat sprouts!
