  1. Ode to Donald Watson – Founder of Veganism

    There was a star geezer called Donald
    Who had some ideas that he’d cobbled
    Into a movement called vegan
    To make all life more even
    with torture and killing to be knobbled

    It was during the war that he started
    And off from the veggies he parted
    Now 60 years later
    He’s an illuminator
    for the ethical, cool and kind hearted

    Now vegan is kinder to people
    (especially the plumper meat eater)
    and it’s good for the planet
    so shout it and spam it
    and life could be so much more neater

    Join with us on world vegan day
    November 1st not 1st of May
    With drinking and eating
    And much celebrating
    For success of a new vegan way
