i did not kill
that much stuff
when i was a boy
i did not even
kill snakes
i killed
bugs
slugs
and bees
me and my buddies
would collect
bees in jars
the lid punctured
a hundred times
by a nail
clover inside
so sweet
we sometimes
conducted experiments
on the bees
we would put them
in the freezer
and find out
how many bees
would survive after
they had been frozen
not that many

Hi Mr. Beer,
That brings back memories of me and the ants as a boy. Up north, out in the fields the ants made their hills of twigs and needles, and the bears liked to lower the mounds looking for grubs.
I liked to take my magnifying glass out on a hot day and bother a few of the ants, or drop an occasional caterpillar onto the hill. All in a spirit of experimentation of course...
Regards
