The Praying Mantis
by Ogden Nash
From whence arrived the praying mantis?
From outer space or lost Atlantis?
glimpse the grin, green metal mug
at masks the pseudo-saintly bug,
Orthopterous, also carnivorous,
And faintly whisper, Lord deliver us.
That was very clever and poetic. Love the picture with it to.
