Critterature: Table For One, Please

An iguana and a ladybug Went out to eat one day. The lady said, "This is my treat, And I'll be glad to pay." Said lizard, "Not at all, my dear, For I've a teeny hunch That after I am through with you, There'll be just one for lunch!"

Funny one Jim. I've had a few business luncheons where I felt like I was the ladybug. Have a good one my friend.
