Roach Or Locust

Whatever it is it likes to exercise on its back said Mr. Will. We both stared at the creature whose wings were lying still. The creature’s legs were going back and forth in triple time. A giant roach or a locust, whatever it is, it is scary said a mime. We watched the bug roll over and do some side donkey kicks. Look out! Yelled a snake as it slid by, giving the beast a few licks. The beast jumped on the snake and rode it out the door. They disappeared down the hill, and slid into a wild bird feed store. Well the bug is gone, said an exerciser who had lost her lunch. Let’s do this! Yelled her partner who began doing a stomach crunch. They might be back said another, as she escaped out a window small. I laughed at their antics, avid exercisers delight me each and every fall.
