Food for Thought: Are You Pulling My Leg? or Does this Bug You?

Why my darling,
your legs are
long
elegant
glistening
succulent
said the spider to the fly.

I’ve
always been
a leg man
said the caterpillar
sadly
to the
butterfly

The average chocolate bar contains eight insect legs. –Yahoo Answers(and you KNOW it must be true if it was on the internet)



Over in the Imaginary Garden Karin has asked us to write about some aspect of  "last" and/or "legs". I really couldn't think of anything, so I did what I usually do in such situations - I went for absurd, gross, adolescent humor.  Really, that's all I could come up with, so apologies to Karen and the rest of the toads.

  3. It doesn't seem so gross to me--what does that say about me? I especially like the second--I perhaps have extra sympathy for the multi-legged. Thanks. k.
