Horror Movies of the Insect World               

by John Grey

Bees tremble

in the front row of

"Invasion Of The Bee Eater Girls";

ants can barely watch the screen

when "The Raid Raid" is showing;

take a girl fly to

"Return Of The Flyswatter"

and she'll be huddled in your wings

before the first swat

is a boy fly's motto;
