Soup

I’m playing in the garden making caterpillar soupI squish them with a stick to make a caterpillar gloopMix it with some water and then I stir till there’s a froth

Then I drink it from a jam jar, lovely caterpillar broth

If you drink the caterpillar

If you drink the caterpillar broth (and don't turn the heat up a notch) realize your stomach's tied in a knot, it just might have something to do with the butterflies around that do jump & flit. :-) ~A

a riposte

I made some cockroach buns and had them for my tea. Then baked a plate of slugs and served them daintily on a platter made of tin that flies were crawling in.
