Barbeque's Sons

Epigrammata LXIX

You complain, but to put things in perspective, in some places in Haiti, they eat people not just Canada geese.

Barbeque's Sons to Ohio came
One warm September day for game
In Haiti any thing that lives and moves
Could be a meal when survival behooves
Genteel Americans were shocked to find
(is Ohio genteel?) them of the mind
The "Leopards eating faces" party had come
To eat some faces, how foolish of some--
You get what's been voted, no matter how dumb.
