Meet Diet for Vegetarians


Red-winged dove in vegetables

Some veggies here, of kinds we love,

And in their midst, a red-winged dove –

It’s near the centre, you will see

If you should search most carefully …

Believe you have it?  Look again,

For what you find may cause you pain,

Religiously, you (to be brief)

Have latched onto a false ‘be leaf’!

False Bird Be Leaf

    Perused your post,
    Did not believe it.
    Gave it my most,
    And saw you’d leafed it.

    The first photo loaded after the second one. On the first, it does look like a bird of some kind (again, suggestion works). On the second photo, it looks like . . . I better not say.
