Scolopendra heros A centipede my good friend A multi-legged little beast Chills down your spine, he does send They say he's got a hundred legs Well it's just not true And venom in every ped Don't worry, it's just the front two The darkness of the night Is when he comes out to play He's nocturnal my good friend That's when he hunts for his prey Insects are his chosen meal So you have little to fear Should one bite you good friend Death would fail to come near However, I shall warn you For I have heard it said That we eat eight bugs in a lifetime While sleeping in bed And there is one last thing That I did fail to mention They make dark holes their home Like the one above your chin. |

Awesome, If one finds the hole above my chin the emotion I exibit will not be a grin away I will go to the looney bin. |

Just go back from the weekend and thought I should say: Thanks Ms DeVine for stopping by and the cool graphic. Sorry about the bug thing. Lost Dreamer, I'm glad you found it and more so that you like it. I aim to please. |

You know, I liked this poem at first, it was cute, but when I got to the bottom, I'm starting to feel a bit queasy !! Am I green? Bugs in my mouth? NO THANK YOU - you don't know where they've been!! I've had one before, and I swear, he tasted like ammonia!! Ack! Tooey! (spitting violently) ------------------ I beckon you to come...I lure you with my tongue... - poet FemmeFatale |

Well, imagine my surprise to find this little beast roaming the top. Thanks to you Ms. FemmeFatale for digging this one up. On a whole I find them pretty disgusting too… a taste of ammonia and a little acidic as well. Bon' appetite! Pepper: Welcome to our halls. Thanks for coming by and leaving your mark, I'll seek to do the same. It is a lot of fun, isn't it? |

So what's wrong with bugs? I love 'em! [This message has been edited by Balladeer (edited 08-30-99).] |

Yo! Sir Balladeer… chocolate covered ants are doable, but unless I'm scheduled for some survival training with the 82nd Airborne I ain't eatin' no bugs no how. Summer camp and a mountain man guide who showed us how to eat lizards, ants, termites and grubs was enough to cure me of the desire for nature's purest protein. Now, cooked snake and raw fish are another matter! |

Ick! I'm with Poet deVine on this one *shudders* ------------------ *Elizabeth* "Dwelt a maid belov'd and cherish'd by high and low, But with autumn leaf she perish'd, long time ago..." |
