BUG DINNERS

Bugs might taste  delicious and be much more nutritious
than many foods we buy in stores.
Gardeners when they lunch are quite sure to munch
on vagrant bugs who thrive outdoors.
On hooks, we spear worms, utilizing their squirms
to convince fish to leave their lake.
Which one tastes the best, we might want to test
maybe it’s worms we should bake.
Botany insiders claim unsightly spiders
make good pets and bug eating friends.
We feel so icky touching webs sticky
and here,  all bug tolerance ends.

    CHOCOLATE CHOICES
 

I shall never die of cancer.
Dark Chocolate will finish me,
This self-destruction answer,
won’t leave me deep in poverty.

I’ll gladly let my waistline bulge,
and not stock my medicine shelf.
With Hershey treasures I’ll indulge
and with kisses, embalm myself.
 

MIRACLE PALEONTOLOGY

Hale the paleontologists,
learned men who unerringly create
a skeleton which each insists
is realness we can not debate.
Old dinosaurs have lost their meat,
leaving lots of fossilized bone.
Do guesses make them complete,
no skeleton gaps left unknown?
Does imagination help them know
what those missing bones looked like,
where supposed new bones should go
To make this ancient trogodyke?
