no insect likes human beings and if you think you can see why the only reason i tolerate you is because you seem less human to me than most of them - Don Marquis

amen said a beetle who had
preceded him into the interior that is the way i
feel myself is it not
wonderful when one arrives at the place
where he can give up his
ambitions and resignedly
nay even with gladness
recognize that it is a far
far better thing to be merged harmoniously
in the cosmic all
and this confortable situation
in his midst
so affected the marauding robin that he perched
upon a blooming twig
and sang until the
blossoms shook with ecstacy
he sang
i have a good digestion
and there is a god after all
which i was wicked enough to doubt
yesterday when it rained'''

If you make people think they're thinking, they'll love you; but if you really make them think, they'll hate you.

caper and shake a leg
what little blood is left
will fizz like wine in a keg
