Have you ever watched a spider Inside a window clean and clear? His prey is on the outside Without a single fear. The spider is perplexed He can see his prey right there But weaves his web for naught And captures only air. The bug just laughs and worries not The spider paces to and fro But gets some satisfaction From a fly-bye of a crow. |

Yeppers! Even bugs need eyes on the back of their head! Mind you, some bugs have the advantage of having compound eyes and see in all directions! lol I can picture you now, turning your attention to the microcosmic world around you! It can almost be as fascinating as you are!  (I had been of the mistaken belief that Balls of Deer was the only Pipster intrigued by the insect world!) Enjoy a Bug Lite while you're bud gazing! ~ I mean, "Enjoy a Bud Lite while you're bug gazing!" Luvya! Linda  [This message has been edited by Earth Angel (08-11-2004 10:53 AM).] |

Not too much difference between bugs and humans.  "cast me gently into the morning, for the night has been unkind" |

 enjoyed.Susan Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind. |

When I first got my new glass door a friend of my son's, not used to the door, walked right into it. My son had a good laugh on that one. Now when my son brings over the two dogs I have nose prints on both sides. They can't figure out why that can't touch each other. Good one Toe. BonBon |

Hahaha, terrific! Kind of guessed what the ending might be like, but that in no way diminishes the punchline. Cute as a bug  |

This is absolutely delightful!!! I'm sure the spider didn't appreciate being robbed of his unattainable lunch... or even his headache from trying to figure out why the web wasn't reaching. *G* But I sure appreciated the grins! Excellent work, my friend! *S* |
