The moth was there when I came in
and turned on the light.

It circled the bulb to warm itself
from the cold night.

I grabbed a board to kill the thing
that came from the night.

But as I swung it overhead
I broke the darn light!

(with apologies to Ogden Nash
who inspires this kind of stuff)

ROFLMBO...you don't WANT to be messing with
our little Moth Queen...

she probably needs a good giggle today, so
I'm linking her to this one!

Very cute, Larry!

LOL... That sounds like something I would do... and then cut my feet on the broken bulb! *G*

Thanks for the grins... I enjoyed! *S*
