What's for dinner?

To Kill A Cow


Cars run down the road to New York City

Looking for cattle

There must be another way to make hamburgers

Not too many pastures in Manhattan

Traffic won't permit it

Going zero miles per hour is no way to hunt for dinner

What's McDonald’s secret

They sell billions every year

People in India are vegetarians

Animals have souls and ancestry

Cows carry signs in the city

No buns or bumpers”

Beep if you love Jesus”

I'm not sure I'll ever be able to look at a Big Mac the same way again, Earl, after reading this really darkly delightful piece. Love your "quirky" sense of humor. I doubt if cows would feel the same, although New York City sign carrying ones may view things differently.
