(*Note- I suggest you read this with a boom box going in your head. Can you dig it?) Yo, Now gather round, my brothers ,settle down while I regale ya with some tales about my lady from the kingdom Animalia, and it's gonna take a while ,so listen up, coz there's a lotta things I think you need to know about the Phylum Arthropoda. Now, mah baby's got some colour and she's lookin' really cute with her wings so finely tailored that you'd never find a suit with such material so delicate and colours that just gleam if you checked out what they sell in Rubenstein's in New Orleans. Well, her six legs work together in a symphony of class as from head down through her thorax she can really shake some ass, though their fronts are smooth and silky, on her calves they're real spikey food receptors on her feet so she ain't never wearing Nikes. All the same she gives good lurvin', such a passionate embrace though I wasn't too impressed first time I ever saw her face. With her two big baby blues (and they're real mothers) compound eyes I can never tell if she is checking out some other guys and I'm careful when we kiss, as she has got one big proboscis gotta make sure that ahm well away when every time she flosses. Never saw her family photos and it's somethin' ah should miss 'coz her pupae was damn ugly and so was her Chrysalis. Though we're going steady now I couldn't marry if I wanna 'coz she says in six month's time that she is going to be be a gonner. And she only drinks from puddles, for the salts that appetize her so I sit and watch and crack mahself a bottle of Budweiser. Well I thank yo all for hearing me and listening to mah song and I know to some my love affair may seem just slightly wrong but I caught her eye and she moved in with just her heart to guide her and I fell for her and we began to- hold on...DAMN! A SPIDER!!! 4th December 2015 For contest 'Butterflies- men only, sponsored by Skat A and Poet Destroyer A

Thanks, Richard, I didn't fancy doing something a little more delicate, it was good fun- not a subject I would have considered. Merry Christmas to you and yours, and all the best for the new year. Regards, Viv

Thanks Cherl, I see 'Krampus' the movie has opened over here, so maybe the kids will all make one last ditch effort to be real good- or is it too late? Viv x

Thanks, Andrea, glad you enjoyed it. To be honest, I don't really mind about wether I place in a contest, I just find the subjects the sponsors come up with useful for inspiration, when I'm sitting in front of a blank screen with an empty head. Often. Viv x

Excellent for expression and uniqueness, Viv! You are a top entertainer, for sure, my friend! I have no butterflies in my garden at present...just green-yellow caterpillars, chewing away at my cabbage leaves! ~ regards // paul

I'm a tad envious that you have the climate at present for such a horticultural complaint, Paul, The only natural way of dealing with such pests that I know of is whisky- just go in the garden and drink a bottle, and then you won't care what they do.... Regards, Viv

I'm sure that you would make a terrific butterfly, Anne Lise, but since they cannot fly in cold weather, you'd be stuck at home all day. With wine and chocolates :) VIv x
