Insect Depravity

A fruit fly with nothing better to do Embedded itself into a honeydew And laid its eggs in the mushy cavity Which I consider insect depravity!

This is one of the grossest poems I think I've ever written, Caren. Occasionally one just gets something like this...or maybe I could blame Trixie. Was she in northeastern Kentucky the other day????

It totally is, Jenna. But, remember you don't eat the inside mushy part! Have a terrific Monday!
