I'Ve Found Life On Mars

I picked up a lovely sweet treat
Unwrapped it, was ready to eat
Much to my chagrin
A grub was within 
I chucked it and stamped with my feet

Paul Callus Date: 5/12/2016 7:10:00 AM Good thing I am not a chocolate lover (except the dark variety); I have a feeling these grubs only go after sweet chocs:) Once I was given a small bar and I put it aside, forgot all about it, and when I found it weeks later it did have maggots:(( Hugs // paul Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 5/13/2016 3:38:00 PM Ugh - lol:-) hugs Jan xx

Duke Beaufort Date: 5/11/2016 4:34:00 PM There is a cheese in Italy that has live maggots in it. It is a delicacy, but they don't let you have it here. If you don't chew it completely, they survive and start eating you! Now that I've let you know about that, can I say how clever you are!! Be careful what you eat!!
