A weekly video reading of poetry by the poet.
Frank, Burger, Chop & Steak
by Ruth Sabath Rosenthal
Careful now, food foolery could keep
us from catching good Z’s, shock
the likes of Bo Peep, make countless sheep
flock to play beat the clock. Poppycock, you say?
Surely fairytale? No way, for I’ve heard tell
of a spook-man in the moon who sees that cows fall
to raging disease: whole herds at first fat-
tened with, then stricken by foul feed he makes
of their felled kin. And if you don’t buy that
livestock, postmortem, are known to retaliate
posthaste with a slew of deadly chops, burgers
& steaks, then frankly, you’re off your rocker!
