twas years ago yet yesterday in vivid memory’s array a cup o’ jo left to busyness’ say my lips and tongue held offensively at bay to that end my sip was met with cool accord yet thirstiness sent me on toward the bottom of the cup to quench my throat and finding one who really got my goat! I felt a lump upon the roof of my mouth and with my tongue I tried to rout it out mooshing it forward toward my lips disregarding the coolness of the drips and what did I find to my disgust a mangled, horrid, drowned blackened mush it surely had had wings at one time before it ended up a blackened slime and to this day when I find I’ve sipped a cup of java with its coolness drips that have not received a sweetness of frost I almost feel my cookies I might toss for flies who insist on skinny-dips within the confines of my java grips are insidious I’m sure you’ve not one doubt so how might one strive to keep them out? ©August 31, 2002 I think I may have to get up a collection of insectivorous prey, or something like that, me being the prey. You know something every kid between 5 and 11 would love! hehehehe Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |

HaHaHa..... I loved this one, Virginial... I am always afraid that when I sleep, a spider will fall off the ceiling into my open mouth. I try to sleep with my mouth closed or on my stomach... but cannot do either...  Oh well.....at least its protein...right!  ~ hugs from a vegetarian chipmunkLyra |
