Abbatoir

A is for
Abbatoir
-
----- -----
Dripping lorry opens it,s rectum
Disgorging the innards
Of fresh bovine flesh
Sirloin beef and scrag end
And the heaving hands in overalls
Aprons dripping mottled red
A flood of life,s blood
Silverside pate and tripe
Gravy of gore
Cajoling the apprehensive beasts
Into Death Row
T-bone porterhouse and oxtail
Essence of innocence
While man and dog stand
Witness to the slaughter
Legal murder
Sausage mince and abbatoir:
