Flies Is a Delicacy For Me

If flies in our sleep is meat
Ketchup-ing all we can eat,
But I’m warning you, you have to be fast.
Grab a plate quickly, when the die is cast.
If you want nutrition to fully last,
You can season it with brown sage and rice.
Cook it in the oven and bake it twice.
You have a delicate stomach? That is sweet.
Delicacy is dark anthropoid meat.
Consuming Insects is a real blast.
If you eat it slow, it will surely last.
Sprinkle on the top some tiny fried rice.
Delicately salted, it tastes really nice
Let’s have spiders, flies, and roaches at any price.

Haha! This sounds alot like what I might write! In fact, I have enough poems about flies to publish a slim volume! Some very humorous lines in this poem! You're sense of form is getting better and better too! Congratulations! / M

Caren, This poem ranks high on my insect diet. Chocolate covered scorpions are a true delight. -Richard

That sounds ever so lovely, Richard. Do they come in a special can? Are they fresh then? I can almost taste the tickle of them.
