Ashes

I swallowed a bug. Would like to say it was tasty or tender.. but those I can't remember. It probably had wings dreamed of better things. But down it went the first day of Lent.

Ha. That was kind of funny. It makes me think of the rhymed so.ng Ring Around the Rosie. My daughter had a speech impairment in Her childhood. She was going around in public saying to people 'Asses Asses". Then one day we heard her doing ring around the Rosie with some kids and we realized she was trying to say Ashes.
