Frosty Facetiae
"you're extremely attractive" a moth said to a flame
"and if I fly closer, please tell me your name".
but the fire just flickered while the moth's passion grew
and blinded by love towards the flame the moth flew
till his port wing was smoking, his starboard burned bright
his moth body sizzeled and glowed in the night
till wingless he fell on the hot wax beneath.
love cast it's last shadow on a bug's body wreath.
as he flopped midst the ashes of past loves' labors lost
his synapses sparkled and a poem by frost
came quickly to mind, his last roll with the dice
was a prayer, "should I perish, think i'd prefer ice".
