#100poeticanswers 81: Why Can’t All Animals Eat All Kinds Of Food?

Another one from the endlessly biologically curious Finn.

You can’t eat grass

Dogs can’t eat fruit

Cows can’t eat meat 

Cats can’t eat roots

if we could all

Eat everything 

The world could get

Quite worrying.

Because we’d all

Live everywhere 

And even though

We’d try to share,

If every creature

Ate the same

They’d have to fight

And that’s a shame.

But we can share 

It all, you see

Because our stomachs 

Disagree.
