There used to be a time long ago
when we humans ate animals
to keep warm in the snow
We’d mass produce animals
outside – not in a lab
and carve them up on a butchers slab
and we’d mince them and cook them
after they were dead
Serving them up on two bits of bread
We called it “Fast Food” – The best in the town
you could eat it indoors – or on a rug on the ground
but tastes they do change – the labs they came in
creating the vending ovens of tin
The service attendants – now fill up the stalls
and don’t collect cash – that’s done beyond our walls
as you pay with your card – it’s cooked on the spot
delivered from the machine when its nice and hot
And the cows don’t shudder – nor do they quake
for they still provide milk for the cheese and milkshakes
spending less time in the big dairy shed
and enjoying green grass on which they are fed
