A Memorial to Dead Cows

 

By Elton Camp

 

Read this and laugh until you’re sick

It’s about PETA’s latest inane trick

 

In Illinois, memorials they’d install

For some cattle killed during a haul

 

In this way, tribute they would pay

And hope that they will get their way

 

The request is most likely to be denied

Only by relatives may such be supplied

 

So the only way PETA is going to win

Is to swear that to some cows they’re kin

 

 

(A note:  This is true.  Google it and see.

 in 2006, Virginia refused a request by

 PETA to install roadside markers for

 hogs killed in accidents on the way

 to slaughter at Smithfield Farms.)
