I Hate These And I Blame You, Mom

.
.
A Praying Mantis
has always been the one thing
that freaks me out.
.
I hate to see them looking at me.
.
Even this one
made out of scallions
is creepy to me.
.
I blame my mother.
She let me watch the movie
"The Deadly Mantis"
when I was a little kid.
.
.
.
You know the movie
where the giant praying mantis
flips over the bus
and you can clearly
see the word "Tonka" on the bottom.
.
.
It scared the ever-living Jesus out of me.
