Beef - 100 Words

Chewed up,
It goes down my throat and in my belly
Runs through my digestive track..

Flushed down the toilet and
through rusty pipes
to a sewage plant out back..

Processed and ground and
turned into feed
Then sprinkled on farms
to turn the grass green

The cows chew the cud
seven or eight times
while the nutrients help to grow
a damn fine bovine

Now slaughtered and sliced
to make the USDA seal..
packaged and sold
for the next combo meal

Then broiled or fried
served with fries and a drink

Two asses, nine stomachs,
THE CIRCLE OF MEAT

Hate to nitpik, but it's USDA, not FDA. That's my job to brand with the seal!
