Roll over Paleo
Roll over Paleo —
You’re too Old Hat:
The Neanderthal Diet
Sports the New Spat.
Our Toothsome Zoo
Boasts “Meat to Please You!”
From Reindeer and Boar
To Auroch and More:
No tasty Mammal
(Think Rhino, think Camel)
No Behemoth
— Not Sloth, not Mammoth —
Remains off the Table
As we are now Able
(A triple Hooray
For that old DNA!)
To purposely Clone
From fossilised Bone
The Diet of the Past
And thus Break our Fast.
But how long might this Last?
There is no Last Word
When Fashion roams Hungry
Midst the Dieting Herd.
