Just Wondering

JUST WONDERING IF….

Snails race each other

Alleycats love arias

Rats ever get disgusted

The devil dreams of ice cream

Caterpillars long to fly

Mosquitoes watch vampire movies

Billy really did it

Fun list John. Makes me wonder if rats get repulsed by cleanliness?

Glad you liked it Scott. My mind goes wandering of an evening and brings these thoughts home to me.

John, I enjoyed your list. These are things I think most of us wonderful about from time to time. I particularly zeroed in on "Caterpillars long to fly," for they must and they do when they come to the butterfly stage. Quite a metaphor, I think.

There's a book ....Hope For The Flowers" (I think) that is a metaphoric masterpiece of butterfly life.....
