Slowly reducing, like the wind
washes away the nasty
parts of stone
in those neat caves out west.

You,
you're reducing me.
Like a pot of vegetable soup.
Only to be horrified
that your vegetarian values
have been broken,
whether you like it
or not.

That's like a girl said to me one time when we were out to dinner.
"You should be a vegetarian it's better for you!"
I was eating a steak at the time and I said, as I waved the fork with a piece of steak on it in front of her face, "See this cow, he used to be a vegetarian, look what happened to him!"

Nice write I enjoyed the read.

Ethome... That brightened my life, a little bit! Haha, I have a few (female) vegetarian friends, and similar situations have occurred.

Kat... Thanks, I liked the title too. =]

I'm thinking that:
the first things that 'get smaller'
are probably those things that are least needed.

Fluid is what makes soup, soup.

Bobo... Lots of vegetables, and some beef stew meat.

It does a man good, especially when it's as cold as it is now.

Alison... Haha, thanks for the read. I'll give you the meatvegetablesoup anytime you're in Minnesota. Eek! =]
