The Foie-gras Factory at La Landelle |
On our sojourn at La Landelle in green pastoral France,
we toured the foie-gras factory, which makes delicious things.
Here, pallid, mute lethargic ducks endure a force-feed dance,
disagreeing at the outset with but a fuss of wings.
Within the foie-gras factory, which makes delicious things,
ducks with bloated guts gorge frequently from the stuffing chutes,
disagreeing at the outset with but a fuss of wings,
endure grain pumped into them by feeders in rubber boots.

Curiously (or perhaps not), only the canards male
endure grain pumped into them, by feeders in rubber boots.
All drakes a half-year from the egg visit the killing rail.
