Orange Juice.
No bits.
Sunny fridge.
The cheese is blue,
maturing veins.
Bits of pig desire you.
Fingertip in a tissue,
beside a tasty tongue.
Hold it.
Shut the door.
Liver likes the lights out.

The best and most beautiful things in the world can not be seen or even touched, they must be felt with heart.http://pages.eggge.com/images/52.gif

Heart was on the shelf above liver.

Fingertip in a tissue? Remind me to never accept a dinner invitation from you.

Tell me all about it amp.

Jerry cordially invites Miss Adventure and her long suffering other half to dinner at the Baldy's.

Me too GLW. There is a generation just before mine that glories in eating all kinds of innards and organs. They are dying off now.

I'll just send my other half. He'll eat anything.

Meanwhile, I will eat bonbons and paint my toenails. The evening is shaping up nicely!

I think your title is quite befitting! Peeking into a fridge with those items is enough to make me consider going vegan. :-)

But really, what is the difference between a fingertip in tissue and pigs feet? We balk at the former, but consume the latter. We eat the appendages, flesh, and organs of many creatures and it's because it is so commonplace that we are comfortable with the idea.

But introduce an uncommon creature as a food product, and suddenly the eating of those same appendages, flesh, and organs is quite appalling.

Your poem is good food for thought - no pun intended! :-)
