Now I lay me down to sleep. I pray the Lord send me some meat. A handsome man for goodness sake With brawn and brains, that I shall take. We’ll dance and make the two-backed beast And afterwards, I pray, I’ll feast. Father, why, unto thee I pray, Hast thou made me love this way; Safe I am an alpha lady, Chow he be after we baby. Bless me, I’m an awful mess; With scraps of Edward on my chest; Heart is empty, belly’s chubby; I wait alone for my next hubby. - #prayingmantis #insects #poems
