No Lack A Snack

Dinner Time

By Andrew C McDonaldPublished about a year ago Updated about a year ago 1 min read

Slithering

Running

Stalking

Sunning

Crawling

Burrowing

Plodding

Furrowing

Crouching in the bushes

Borrowing time …

Eagles eye view

Rodent on the sly

Rat feces dinner

Plunder from high

Snail slime trail

Road to hell

Beetle bright jaws

Pile of dung

Clamping shell

Meal unsung

Must be Zen

Shit eating grin

Carapace coated

Crappy and bloated

Dinner floated

Centipede massage

Army ant attack

Black widow web

Venom unlocked

Entrails

No fails

Road kill

King of the hill

Biting

Sniping

Clawing

Gnawing

Praying Mantis

All just a snack
