great memory prompt for bug catching days and bug funerals gone by, my kids and myself - my fancy was catching caterpillers and building amusement parks for them with rulers and such

poetically expressed too - very cool

L.L., exaggeration is the greatest joy of language.

spaghettipie, that picture doesn't begin to do justice to the bugness of the car. I washed it yesterday and had to go to one of those super wash places. I literally could not get the bugs off with regular rags, soap, elbow grease.

Robert, we use match boxes if its a favorite bug. (Not really. That's exaggeration, L.L. In Texas, we call it imagination.)

"Now, just for the record, I wasnâ€™t thinking daily casket, flowers, eulogy, hymns, pall bearersâ€¦"

Hey, L.L., that's exactly what I was thinking. Except, you know, really really tiny ones... :-D

Okay, I'm totally cracking up that you posted that picture! And you are so clever with your poem. I wouldn't even dream of trying after that!

So, are you saying that... sometimes... you exaggerate in your poetry? Hmmm...

Now, just for the record, I wasn't thinking daily casket, flowers, eulogy, hymns, pall bearers...

Thanks, Bob. You have your own kind of poetry of colloquialisms.

Elizabeth, we're going to get our Laity Lodge podcast if it kills one of us.

L.L., like most poetic images, it was a slight exaggeration to mention DAILY funerals. But they are common and brief. Lyle says, "Look Dad. This bug's dead now." The end.

Daily funeral. Now that was an image that made me both laugh and catch my breath.

Very clever, my friend! I counted 6 of 18 topics - not bad! And congratulations on having the first-ever poetic entry to WILF (sound of crowd cheering)!

'Course, I've never been too good at poetry, so I'm afraid most of it's wasted on me. But I can sure picture those little boogers like black snowflakes, smearing their last moments across the front of my automobile (and my teeth, back in the days when I used to be a happy motorcyclist!)
