Little Bug

A little bug hopped up on me He said, 'How do you do?' I said, 'I do just fine, I think May I have a word with you?' He said, 'Sure, sir. How 'bout now? I'm on break from my chores' Said I, 'Oh, good. Let's chat in this grocery store.' We exchanged our names and a little small talk Then I got to the point Saying, 'You haven't a friend in this entire joint' 'I know,' the bug wept I know that you've kept up an all-points alert so you don't get hurt if I leave my imprint upon you' 'But now that the coast's clear Please accept my apology, dear and with it, a cure for my virus' So quick as a wink The bug with good cheer Poured me clink, clink ~ a little Corona Prescription Beer

LOL, yes and no. Sounds like a psychodelic dream. A little cheer with a bug. Squish that bug or leave him swirling in his glass. Love this. There’s a dark cuteness to this one, my friend!

Psychedelic dream? -- Hmm. I see the point now in that phrase, 'the entire joint.' lol. Interesting comment. Thanks for that perspective. ~ Dark Cutie

Thank you for your kind words, Jenish. Sometimes I even laugh at what I've written -- not that it's all so funny, really. Peace, Brother. :) gw

Yes, indeedy-do! (Those who keep kosher have to check for aphids in our lettuce and other vegetables, as it is forbidden to eat any bugs. How about that?!) Cheers, Gershon
