I Can'T Abear Poem by Walter de la Mare

I Can'T Abear

Rating: 2.8


I can't abear a butcher,
I can't abide his meat,
The ugliest shop of all is his,
The ugliest in the street;
Bakers' are warm, cobblers' dark
Chemists' burn watery lights;
But oh, the sawdust butchers shop
That ugliest of sights.

It is an ugly business- yet we still eat our bacon and we still eat our pork chops. It is hard to rationalize our violent ways with a delicious turkey or yummy steak staring at us face to face
