Ode to a Bug

Ode to a Bug

Poor bug
Drowned.
At the bottom
It was found.
A short life
Shorter made
In this glass
Of lemonade.
I wondered of its dying thoughts
Or if it truly thinks.
Wish I’d found it sooner,
Before I’d finished my drink.

  2. so now we are into bug poetry? Eh? All right then…

    Helicopter meets Bug

    At a hundred and thirty knots
    he didn’t exactly have lots
    of time to avoid my screen
    polished silky clean.

    He splattered with a thud
    spreading guts and blood
    My thoughts were quite unkind
    as I pondered his tiny mind.

    I guess it’s sad to say
    but really, the right-of-way,
    belonged to my little friend
    despite his sticky end.

    But when you meet a Bell
    blasting along like hell
    I’m truly inclined to say
    "GET OUT OF MY FLIPPIN’ WAY!"

    (I know, I know, don’t even comment, this was a 3 minute awful… feeling tipsy after a quiet beer)
