From the Washington Post: People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, the prominent advocacy group, has honed its focus on one beloved tradition in Episcopal churches across the country, the lobster boil. The animal-rights group sent a letter Friday to Bishop Michael Curry, the presiding bishop and primate who leads the nationwide church, asking him to end the practice of lobster dinners in favor of something more vegetarian.
Pity Bishop Michael Curry --
Boiling lobsters in a hurry.
Lest the PETA goons appear
to start another PR smear.
Episcopals like lobster stew,
And have no idea what to do
When protesters their treat would ban
In favor of a loaf of bran.
Though water may be changed to wine,
And devils be cast out of swine --
No miracle can save a creed
That must subsist on boiled flaxseed.
