Sandwich

Sandwich Chop up the onion Slice up the bread Bring out the salmon Bright pinkly dead Wafer the cumber Juicy and green Ensure the blade is Sharpened and keen Scrape on the butter Mayonnaise and dill Cap with brown wholegrain Fresh from the mill Wrap it in poly Heat treat the seal Slap on a label for Market appeal What does the salmon So freshly dead Think of the mayo Thick on the bread ? And what of the cumber Bedded in butter What would he say But he could utter ? And of the dill Ripped from the ground Silently screaming Without a sound And of the grains Crushed for the bread Do they feel pain ? Do they feel dead ? Eat up your sandwich Think as you chew Savour the contents Cadavers too
