Gourmet Grasshopper

After the spider made lunch of the fly
A curious grasshopper leapt on by
He told the fly with gusto
I really now must go
to dine on my worm and centipede pie!

Appreciate the light humours touch with hidden irony. It's difficult to pen Limerick and you are master of that

A follow-up to Beryl Edmonds "A Flying Romance" 02/11/24 Hello Daniel, you'll need to read Belles Limerick to understand my contribution. Btw what's worse than a centipede with sore feet? A giraffe with a sore throat! Thank you for the kind words. Robert
