Want to be a Bug Bird or Boy
Do you want to be a bug, bird or a boy?
The child was confused.
He wanted to be a bug, so he could be creepy.
He wanted to be a bird, so he could trill.
He wanted to be a boy….
He actually could not think of any reason to be a boy.
I want to be a bug and a bird, the boy said.
God said, let’s split your soul, so you can be both.
So, the boy became a bug and a bird.
Why do I still wear glasses? He asked God.
Because you forgot to ask me for better eyesight.
The boy’s souls met periodically to compare lives.
