Moth fear my wrath
Lepidopterological lyricism

Oh little moth, you cut your cloth with grace that has no rival.
But if your larvae eat my plants, your genes will skip survival.

Dear Vocal friends. As I am about to catapult this new collection of assorted verse into an unsympathetic marketplace, I thought I would offer it first to my online buddies for review. This, in the hope that you might either (a) persuade me of the error of my intentions or (b) want to review the contents and advise your various followings, online or off, as to its literary merits (or otherwise). In short, advise them whether (or not) they ought to buy it. To me, a bad review is as high a compliment as a good review, perhaps higher. That said, I would hope that reviewers find something of worth in my words.

Funny! Short and sweet, unless you're a moth and then it's a bit threatening.
That was cute. When you publish Sweet and Short I would like to review that as well. Good work on this little ditty.
Lol. That was fun, Ray! And unless the category already exists, you get extra credit for writing a Lepidopterological lyric! Took me a min to pronounce it, lol.
