Be mindful of what your eating
when dining in your house
as that food you've just consumed
may well have been Donkey, Rat, or Mouse.
Be mindful of what your eating
when having your next meal
as those Fishfingers on the plate
could contain Penguin or Seal.
Be mindful of what your eating
when attending a banquet or lavish feast
as you may well be dining out on
Camel, Crocodile, or a Wildebeest.
Be mindful of what your eating
when enjoying a late night snack
as the reason your feeling queasy
is because you've been gorging on a Yak.
Be mindful of what your eating
as you've just had a big tea
and the reason your jumping about
is that you've swallowed a whole Chimpanzee.
So please be mindful of what your eating
and don't believe what it says on the box
and even pet food isn't safe anymore
as my dog now thinks it's a Fox!
