The cat touched on this in a fact or two but now you'll get the full blown scoop at my zoo. Soon you may even make some dough. It's a growth sector, you know.
You can pick it,
Whether ant or cricket.
Soon it will be here,
And everywhere far and near.
Right at your door.
At the grocery store.
Need that protein.
It will make you lean.
Might taste like chicken.
None Pat is pickin.
But the cat takes them all.
I eat them down the hall.
Ants you can squeeze.
Forget those fleas.
Have some cricket legs.
Have them with beer kegs.
A caterpillar or two,
May sure fill you.
The butterfly effect?
That may make you umm erect.
A ladybug meal.
Now that's a deal.
It won't get spotty.
So says Scotty.
A stink bug stew?
That may be eww.
But some may enjoy.
Could be a nasty ploy.
Hop to the beat.
Grab a treat.
Don't be a flopper,
Snack on a grasshopper.
Weave a web line.
All will align.
Spiders are other.
But with ketchup you can smother.
And there are more.
Get creative at your shore.
Have a meal of bugs each day.
Soon many will be on display.
Hear that yet? Fine by this pet. Bugs will be the newest food. You'll use them to feed your brood. Aren't enough chickens to go around. So bugs galore will be found. Are you ready to snack on bugs in mass? It would be amusing to see for my little rhyming ass.
Enjoy your winter, smash a printer.

I used to have a cat that would sit at the base of a pine tree. He would climb up and eat a few cicada every night. Shrimp of the tree for cats.
ReplyDeleteA little snack to grad away
DeleteAnd have a fulfilling day
No thanks. I'll stick to nuts for protein.
ReplyDeleteNuts can do the trick
DeleteBut bugs go down some slick
That's just nasty
ReplyDeleteAnd yet it may come to be
DeleteBugs across the sea
Eat a bug a day
ReplyDeleteNo need to spray
They're good dipped in your favorite sauce
Show those bugs just who is boss
Crunch and chew
DeleteThat little slime isn't so eww
No eating bugs for me
ReplyDeletethat will not make me squee
with delight
instead I'll recoil in fright
at the sight
of bugs to bite
When hunger takes over
DeleteWorks for cat or rover
Humans may have to suck it up
Or steal the dog food from a pup
dog and cat chow
Deleteis better than most fast food now
so dipping into their dish
may not be a bad wish
That is true
DeleteMost of that fast food crap will rot you
No thank you
ReplyDeleteGives me the heebie-jeebies
Legs wiggling, antenae swaying
Maybe cats are interested
Or just playing
Happy Friday
They can chew
DeleteWhen in view
But humans may
Come some day
A Buggy Treat To Come And Eat!
ReplyDeleteProtein galore to overcome meat
Matter of being used to
To just gulp not to chew
Less people more share for one's feed
Hank
Have to make due
DeleteAs more come through
Bugs by the ton
Buggy fun
When on my bike the right time of day
ReplyDeleteBugs in my mouth the entire way
Hate it but nothing I can do
But wince and swallow and keep pedaling thru...
haha get your protein to keep you going
DeleteAs the bugs start a flowing
I'm aware that many actually eat insects, but I never had the urge to try one.
ReplyDeleteYeah, only if starving would I
DeleteBut even then it would be hard to give them a try
No way, Jose! I only eat bugs accidentally. Ugg, ugg, ugg! I remember our guide Soluy in Siem Reap telling us that when she was a child and they ran out of food toward the end of each month, they would gather and eat insects from the jungle. He father was a teacher and an animal "veterinarian" in their village, and they were very poor. But then many people in Cambodia were and are poor.
ReplyDeleteCats and dogs are good bug catchers! Have at it Cassie and Orlin!
Wow, I'd try and make the food last
DeleteSo I didn't join the bug cast
I do like a good bug every once in a while!
ReplyDeleteGood protein
DeleteEver so lean
Not sure I fancy that snack at my shack!
ReplyDeleteOne day it may crop up,
DeleteFor human, cat or pup
One of my kitties loves buggy treat but I won't approve....! I don't want his beautiful mouth to have such yucky stuff!
ReplyDeletelol realize what is in cat food?
DeleteThat is probably far more rude
Our cats like to supplement their diets with an occasional bug, but I think I'll leave that particular cuisine to them... although I did once eat chocolate-covered ants when I was in elementary school. Someone brought them in for show-and-tell, and most of us gave them a try. Crunchy!
ReplyDeleteA good crunch can't be beat
DeleteNot sure though I'd want an ant treat
I had a wonderful cat called Tabitha, she used to get up to everything imaginable. When she was ten she was diagnosed with diabetes and I had to give her two shots of insulin daily. No cat meat for her but the dry variety.
ReplyDeleteYvonne.
Had to do what you had to do
DeleteTo make sure a great life came on due
Dip it in chocolate
ReplyDeleteBuy and drop in your pocket
Eat it for lunch
the bug's skeleton you'll crunch
And post photos on your site
of this yucky plight.
It's a dumb thing to do
It takes terrible too.
Yeah, we'll avoid
DeleteLet them fall in a void
Bugs for a cat
Simple as that
I will not eat bugs in a stew
ReplyDeleteI will not eat bugs here or there
I will not eat bugs anywhere
Not even for dough?
DeleteNo eating you'll go
My friend was in Thailand 2 years back
ReplyDeletewalking with his boyfriend who loved to attack
a tasty treat over there.
roasted cockroaches, Yup I swear
they eat it like chips
at least they don't go to your hips
but I will pass on any insect stew
chocolate, or snack-I just say Ewww!
Blah, that they can keep
DeleteWe won't take the leap
Cockroach stew

DeleteBut good protein at the end of the day
Would probably have to starve
ReplyDeleterather than eat some of these things
all I can think of is with my luck
one of them would sting
betty
That would suck
DeletePass the buck
When the cats spot a cricket in the house.
ReplyDeleteThey'd rather eat it than a mouse.
First they play with it and toss it about.
Then swallow it when I let out a shout.
Poor little cricket.
haha yeah, play it to death
DeleteUntil it no longer has breath
Right at the door
ReplyDeleteof grocery store
where I had bought more
of canned bugs galore
I heard jokers roar
At brains of the poor
Jokers like that
DeleteThen fall flat
My girls received some chocolate covered bugs last year as a gift. They wanted me to try them, and even though I'm usually a sucker for any kind of chocolate, I wasn't going anywhere near candy coated bugs. Ewwww!
ReplyDeletehaha just not for you?
DeleteEven if as a Halloween treat they came due?
Wow Pat, this reminds me of a few people-eating-bugs -for-the-first-time videos on youtube.
ReplyDeleteYeah, there are a few of those
DeleteCan sure curl ones toes
Grasshoppers and spiders aren't for me!
ReplyDeleteNot a one
DeleteShall be spun
YIKES!
ReplyDeleteNo yum
DeleteAnd then some?
