he gets a choice - traffic or the wife; either way, he is a goner.

Many of us should take and learn from the praying Mantis. I'm sure he will see the Pearly gates. Sadly many of us will not. GershonI am taking a break from Poetry Soup posting and commenting. When I come back I will catch up my friend. God bless you Gershon and keep writing your funnybone way my friend. Will see you in a while...

Michael, thank you for letting me know that you'll 'be away' for a while. I'll miss you dearly and will try to keep my spirits up while you're gone. Your encouragement has meant the world to me. Happy trails, my friend! Light and Illumination, Gershon

I hope he can hear the traffic. I suppose he didn't need to if he was praying. Enjoyed; thank you, Gershon.

You know, I haven't seen a praying mantis for quite a while either, come to think of it. Maybe we are overdue... :) gw

On the way to bring my daughter to college, a praying mantis clung to the windshield all the way. God draws our attention and shows us he will protect us.
