Mantis Chat

Mutley Ravishes

I had a brief chat

With a praying mantis

Who told me how he escaped

From Atlantis

He said a snake

Taught him how to surf

So he wouldn't ever get hurt

 

When I bowed my head,

Clasped my hands

And began to give sincere thanks

For this unexpected gift

The mantis said

"Don't take the piss"

    If you can manage to stay off the medication, then please continue to do so.🤣
    A rich write. Certainly tickled at least one part of my anatomy - my head.

      Thanks for reading. It's ok, I'm not on medication, I'm on imagination!

      A cracking rhyme and the last line made my lol! 🙂

      Love praying mantis but then I am a bit larger than their normal prey. I think it would be more appropriate if they were called preying mantis. A good fun read.

      • Mutley Ravishes

        I had to check the spelling! Yes, “preying” makes more “sense.”

        Haaa,
        I agree with
        sorenbarret!
        A 'preying' mantis
        Is more appropriate! 😉
        Awesome read! 👍
        Best regards Thad
