This, yes this,
is what grandchild number two
aged nearly fifteen
wants for Christmas,
oh!
you guessed, yes,
a praying mantis,

I told said grandchild
that praying mantises
stopped believing in God
and
no longer pray,
but then
what would I feed them on?

I said,
feed them on bible verses
plenty of those,
and who knows
they may rediscover their faith.
