EARLY BIRD 5 & 6

Michael Edwards

The early bird gets the worm

And the Doctor prescribes tablets.

 

The early bird gets the worm

Who the heck wants a worm anyway?

    I've just popped those published here in Community in Fusions so a CHALLENGE - come on you lot add one (or two or three or more) to the fusions.
    It would be great fun to see other poets suggestions.

      Thanks Uncle Mike ~ will check your (CON)FUSION if you check mine on AMERICAN STATES ~ It was only after I had eaten (and enjoyed) \"Jambes de la Grenouille\" and recognised the bones as similar to Rana Temporaria that I realised I had actually consumed ~ OMG \"The hind leg of a FROG\". ESCARGOTS (avec o sans cocquilles !) I wont touch nor offal (but I do like HAGGIS !) BUT we have to realise in the developing World \"insects\" are a good source of PROTEIN and I have enjoyed Roast Hamster in PERU ~ When in Rome..........? Thanks for two droll EB\'s Yours BRIAN. Please check ANGELAS ~ DANCING QUEEN ~ I didn't recognise her with her (Maori) Clothes on ! Enjoy the Stick & Poi video ~ OK

        Eaten hamsters - how will Orchi feel about that?
        I quite like frogs legs and Escargot is okay but for me all I can taste is the garlic.
        Insects - well i've never tried them but would be quite happy to try them out
        As a child being raised on a rabbit stud farm I used to fight with my sister over who got the tongue and brains.

        Two boys go fishing, one of them has a lot of worms "How did you get so many worms?" the other asks.
        "I get my younger brother to get them for me and let him eat every tenth one he digs up"

          Brilliant Andy and thanks for adding to the Fusion.

        • orchidee

          How early does the bird have to get out of bed to catch the worm?

          • Michael Edwards

            He was Curlew(ed) up in bed under his Eider down – his alarm gave a loud Shrike and he woke feeling quite Grouse(d.)
            When he was fully Kittiwake he Buzzard off to catch the worm and boy was he Puffin but he didn’t want another bird Robin him of his breakfast.

            Thanks for participating in the Fusion O

            • orchidee

              Did he get up at a quarter past Spring? Or was it half past?

              The early bird gets the worm.
              Gardner clamps down on localised bullying

              The early bird gets the worm
              Says sparrow's defence lawyer in nocturnal raid on butchers shop case.

              The early bird gets 'The Worm'
              Batteries not included.

              Hope all those worms that early birds get do not mean their later brethren will have to go hungry.......... this read raised a big smile - - love it Michael.

              • Michael Edwards

                The early bird got the worm
                The late bird got the croissants.

                Thanks Fay
