Confronted with
Etouffe’
No exoskeletons pollute my taste,
For my profoundly English digestion
Rejects such critters as foul, unclean waste:
The matter is not subject to question.
Assure
me that a crawfish is nutritious?
I will offer you an earthworm instead.My proposal is merely meretricious:
Suck thou the brains from a crustacean’s head
Wet
shrimp and mud crawfish, O what are these?
Roaches
with an aquatic attitudeReally little more than sad seaborne fleas
Not these did Jesus feed the multitude
Give
me some fish, with slick scales on their sides
Or
maybe a turkey (cut off its head)Or good dead cows (Moo! Moo!), once clothed in hides:
Endoskeletons, yes! (with buttered bread).
