Lol. Well, it's really not that bad. I'm told it tastes like chicken. But they say that about the bayou frog's legs which were as big as rabbit legs. I stuck with the bayou shrimp ettoufee. Fun 5-7-5. Best wishes in the contest!

    So where is the post which references the Ed Sullivan show that Judiverse wrote about? I checked your portfolio but couldn't find it.

    It is a second reply concerning a French entertainer.

Eeeeewww.... mind went immediately to actual swamp water before clicking back to the green, sour bar drink! ;) Still think I'll pass on the sandwich, though... Thanx for sharing, sir! ;) Yvette

In all honesty, I have heard worse.

Rats are tinned in the Philippines and sold as STAR meat (rats spelled backward) in supermarkets.

A few years ago, Bill Gates considered investing in this mini-livestock option to solve the food crisis in the world.

..but I can see he is now focused on synthetic food.

Gates has become the biggest owner of agricultural land. I wonder what devious project he has installed for humanity.

    Thanks for checking this out, T. I suspect we'll be tasting nano-byte filling in our Twinkies soon.

This is a very interesting 575. I had never heard of such a thing as a gator on Rye, but I guess that is something they must serve in the south. Have a wonderful day and may God bless you. Also, I wish you the best in the contest.

Gator on rye sounds good. In the Northern Territory many years ago I had crocodile. From memory a lot like chicken. However the chilled swamp water, I'm not too sure about. This was a fun 5-7-5 poem Bill. Good luck in the contest, cheers

An excellent entry for the 5-7-5 poem contest. Well, i don't know about this particual recipe but being from Florida, i do know that gator is very good eating. So are frogs legs. Impossible to believe but true. good luck in the contest.

    Thank you, Marilyn. I'll bet alligators enjoy frog legs daily.

Hi Bill,
I love your wit, ole buddy!
But as for lunch, I don't think I'd partake in a gator-on-rye, nor the chilled swamp water! Are there such things on a Louisiana menu??? Do people actually eat alligator? Surely, swamp water must mean a homemade ale of some description. There aren't many things I'll refuse to devour. My list is short... olives, reptiles, vermin, and insects. But, you know, I've heard that we'll all be eating insects by 2050. How else will our planet's ballooning population survive unless they make use of grasshoppers, crickets, and mealworms? Success of the idea will depend solely on how they are cultivated and processed. I'll be 100 years old in 2050, so maybe (just maybe) I'll avoid eating these creatures.
An excellent entry for the 5-7-5 contest! Good Luck with it! I love the humor... or, is it really humor? Maybe it's a wake-up call!
Your syllable count is correct. It's a go!
Cheers,
Kimbob

    Thanks, Kimbob. The SAVE THE COCKROACHES signs will be out by the time you are one hundred, I'd bet.

Urk! Thank you but no thank you. I have no doubt that I would never be able to get that taste out of my mouth, or get rid of the memory of that taste from my senses ever. Ugh!
