Prime Rib

You have been 
ordered
At the local
Grocery Store

I realize 
Our enjoyment
In partaking
Of you
At the
Christmas Table
Took you
From
This earth
The consumer's 
Demand
Was ultimately 
your demise....

A bit barbaric 
If you think
About
It
And kinda
Vain
If one takes
The time
To analyze 
The sacrifice
you gave 
in order 
To satisfy 
The carnivore's 
appetite

I guess this
is why
This chef 
Chooses
to drink
Straight 
Bourbon
When he cooks

It suppresses 
the guilt
And enhances
The sense 
Of smell
That fresh
Rosemary 
And garlic
Produces
in 
Devouring
the footprint 
You left.....

Merry Christmas 
Daisy!!!!!!
