Alternative Diet
by Dave FitzgeraldI have here in my hand
A bucket of slugs.
Cos they are so lovely to eat.
I'm not keen on crickets
Or eight legged bugs
Or creatures with too many feet.
I like all of my food
The texture of goo,
Worm omelette is great for a lunch.
Don't offer me locusts
Or cockeroach stew,
Or owt that has too much to crunch. 08/14/2006
Author's Note: Let's say that cockroach has 3 sylllables shall we? :) and owt is short for anything.

| Posted by Chris Sorrenti on 08/17/06 at 04:13 PM LOL! Gross but well worded reminder of one scene in the latest Willy Wonka movie, starring Johnnie Depp. Excellent Dave! Think I'll stick however to the occasional bug I unknowingly swallow in my sleep. :o) |
