Incongruent



     As I walked down to the postboxes to retrieve my mail the other day, I noticed that hundreds of desiccating worms had been washed into the gutter by a recent downpour.

     I eat meat, wear leather shoes and go after the bunnies eating flowers in my yard with a BB gun like Elmer Fudd or Mr. McGregor...so why do I feel sad for these worms?

  1. Now you'll have me checking the pavement for these poor silhouettes...

  2. Because they are so helpless? I pick them up. Seeing a worm out of the soil is like seeing a fish out of water.

    1. Unfortunately, these invertebrates were beyond rescue.

  3. You're a better woman than I am. I would have been careful not to step on them and I appreciate them in the soil but the bunnies would have received more of my sympathy!

    1. You'll be glad to know, then, that the Easter Bunny has full immunity.
