In a time where bovines and their udders once held sway,
Dairy was the beverage of choice, embraced in the light of day.
Yet, the pendulum of time swings wide, necessitating evolution,
Bid a hearty welcome to plant-derived milks – the drinkable revolution!
From the soybeans’ cradle, almond’s mantle, even the coconut’s crown,
To the humble oat and hemp’s embrace, there’s a milky marvel to be found.
Yet, eyebrows furrow, noses crinkle, resistance starts to bloom,
“A beverage born of foliage? Surely, that’s not our doom!”
They clutch their memories tightly, of the days of milk with a moo,
Yet an array of fresh alternatives, they fail to pursue.
“Where’s the bovine, the frothy source, the origin of this brew?”
Their thoughts churn in bewilderment, unsure of what to construe.
But behold the marvel, as they savour a tentative taste,
An epiphany unfolds, assuring no efforts laid to waste.
For these plant-derived milks offer bounty – rich in taste and nutrition,
A lactose-free indulgence that brings every palate to submission.
Let’s hoist a glass, of almond, oat, or even soy, if you prefer,
As we embrace the forward surge, and bid farewell to what once were.
For the future gleams promisingly, with plant milks on the ascent,
A tasty revolution, ripe and resplendent, an edible testament!
