clams have feelings too (actually they don't)

birds are dumb

with small bird brains

but so are kids and old people

some birds talk

most others sing

i don't see you eat a talking bird



pigs smell bad

they roll in poo

but so do kids and elderly

i don't see you chop off an old man's feet

put them in a mason jar and pickle them



no chowder for you

cause' clams have feelings too

actually they don't have central nervousness

no manhattan style

clams have the right to smile

come to think about it they don't have a face



they have no face

no place for ears

there's no clam eyes

to cry clam tears

no spinal cord

they must get bored

might as well just put them out of misery



i don't believe it's selfish

to eat defenseless shellfish



no chowder for you

clams have feelings too

it could happen to you

clams have feelings too

"i don't think they do"

clams have feelings too

Hi I found this funny yet poignant,poignant because even beyond the idea of clams not having face,appendages etc they are a living form and when we eat them there is no thought of thier worth other then food.This principle can be applied towards people too,we tend to take many for granted or ignor them censure them because we don't understand them or cast them aside out of ignorance.I'm kinda analytical in my reading, I read for surface content and then look for subtle messages.This is what this said to me -great piece!
