Ode To A Vegan Breakfast Poem by Keith Shorrocks Johnson

Green the smoothie glugs with avocado
And, if the gods smile, a banana too
Nectar for the clean-gut slimming lardo
With flaxseed oil to help it through

Next the turn of dust and silt to sludge
So homemade muesli swells and plumps
As molars through the sandy desert drudge
And gritty bits betray inchoate lumps

Chia, quinoa vie now with kale and spinach
And the swamp is drained or rather sumped
So as breakfast stumbles to its scouring finish
The contents of the bowl are slowly chumped

This is the vegan medley melody of song
Long-dried fruit and roasted nuts inspire
The kindling of new growth the colon long
As oats and coconut some dental floss require

That madness and the inflatuate gut may breed
With yogurt, kefir, ancient grains and seed.
