Tastes

I watched a robin in my yard
who after tugging long and slow,
pulled out a worm from the dirt
as a relished tidbit for it's hardwork
and being in a thoughtul mood,
I wonder how they could eat such
things when all the yard was filled with
green grass that cattle would refuse
to pass by without at least, a bite or
two to flavorize the cud they chew.
The ponderings of the taste of a cow
I gave some thought to pigs and swine
who would the best of grasses disdain
if they might have their fill of corn.
And from the diet of the pig I passed
by to scrutinize the dog, to find he
would leave the corn in solitude
if he might order but a bone;
Then we might realize that a bone
might bring a small comfort to a cat.
Their menus favors milk and mice
a combination far from the best;
and so with all my deductions, I
find no harmony in tastes.
