Invaders with Rice

Treacherous invaders ever growing,
in dark, damp places always showing,
protective boundaries, they will breach, 
insidiously extending their evil reach.
How will I conquer these fungal sinners?
I'll intrepidly cook mushrooms for dinner.

OH MY GOSH, there are 3 mushroom poems in a row, just like the Newton thing. Is this a form of OCD? Do ya have to have 3 in a row on same topic? Am I kidding? Am I? Are you aware? OR your brain sought all it could get from Newton, then mushrooms and in both cases, it got 3 writes. Am I your therapist or a detective? I must have eaten the wrong kind of mushrooms. Had a good time .. CayCay (soup mail-its good)

You're on to me! I sometimes fall into these things, where I keep writing about the same things for a day or two. You may remember it was grackles a while ago, and once it was ravens. Once it was even a pole vaulter named Armand Duplantis, probably because I pole vaulted as a kid. Haha, don't know why I get fixated like that. Oh, yes I do - because I'm a nut -lol!
