Poetry from Santiago Burdon

Fonty The Vegan Vulture


Fonty was a vegan Vulture. 


Other Vultures tried to offer their advice 


Told him they were created as carnivores and eating 

meat 


Is an essential part of their diet.


He stayed true to his commitment to be a vegan


Ate fruit and berries but they never satisfied his appetite 


He began to steal stale bread from pigeons 


Crows kept him away from the cornfields


He was too weak to put up a fight


The Vulture Committee knew he wouldn't last much longer


Sure enough he died from starvation 


The Volt joined together as a Wake and all said a prayer 


Then they quickly ate him.
