Preening Herbivores Hat

Why are vegetarians so holier-than-thou?
Why this moral pride because they never eat a cow?
Their sanctimonious smugness shows, and though they feel "aware",
Their axioms are cloying and their logic isn't there.

"Suffering and cruelty aren't needed for a feast",
They're righteously indignant for the feelings of a beast!
Really, though, it's just to show they're caring, eco-geeks;
Vegetarians deserve their sallow, hollow cheeks.
