Pamper me - I'm a Tomato

A little ditty on hearing the news that the FDA have sanctioned the use of phages to prevent plant bacterial infections. Plants are obviously muchg more important (expensive)than people.
(Apologies to The Bard, et al)

"I'm glad I'm a tomato for I now have no fear
of nasty bacteria that may come too near.
Those nice humans have decided their priority
and seem to have chosen Mammon over humanity.

Though they die in their thousands,
with the cure in their grasp,
will they realise their folly
before their last gasp?

I'm glad I'm a tomato, though not very bright,
I must be important because for me they do fight.
More important than children and somebody's granny
because I, a tomato, am costing them money."

Though my life is short it will now be sweet,
my days on the vine will now be complete.
Unlike, alas, those who only see dollars
or are too stupid to act when the evidence hollers.

So, be you a cow a fruit or some nosh,
though ye be different you all look the same
in the eyes of those nice humans,
who just see you as dosh."

Cheers,

Mike Jozefiak
