Mary had a little lamb
it got scrapie and did stutter
But UK knackers would not mind
they ground it up as fodder

Mary's little lamb was fed
to pigs and cows and hosses
"The ruminants are predators"
said UK agrobosses

Mary's little lamb had brain
prion-fouled as sponge
Health officials said: "Oh well,
no need that stuff expunge"

"The prions won't a cow infect
they are consumed in her belly"
But the cow did catch the BSE
and its brain turned into jelly.

Mary's little lamb transmit'd
the prions into cow;
She went mad, and knacker's yard
turned her to cattle chow

The UK cattle was fed with chow
that was wicked like a thief
And fate of cows is so well known;
they were turned into beef

Britons love the hamburgers
and steak and kidney pie
But something strange did follow up
as people oddly died

The reason of the death was thing
called Creutzfeld and Jacobi
It softened up those victims' brains
and they turned into zombie

Doctors, they were all bemused
why healthy people died?
But they found out and were not amused
'Twas fouled meat, that's why.

And all the EU roared up
a scandal, it was clear
It seemed The Jungle had returned,
the days of old Sinclair

The moral of the story is
so easy to be seen
Don't feed the cattle with meaty stuff;
just use things that are green.
