Sticky Business

Naturally, you are growing weary of reading excerpts from my unpublished children's book: One Strange World.  But I must press on. Some of you might need a laugh today.  Since death is in the news, here's a page about the death of a horse . . . well, the horse that died to make the glue.





What's In Glue?

What's in glue?
There are bugs
And slugs
And pieces of shoe.
Old dough
Cold butter
Swiss cheese
And snow.
Lizard lips
Old veggies
Tree sap
And chip dips.
Mustard
And ketchup
Jam and jelly
Peanut Butter
Hippopotamus belly.
Maggots and mites,
Ticks and fleas,
Dollops of honey,
Stingers from bees.
It's all in there:
Old things and new.
Aren't you glad you know now
The stuff that's in glue?
