Did You Ever?A Poem by Chris ShawScientific facts here folks.
Did you ever contemplate
that female dragonflies can seemingly lie? Determined to be mistress of their own fate, studies have discovered that ladies of the species will feign death rather than succumb to the advances of rampant mates. Forgive me for smiling because it tickles me to find such punishing plans put in place, talk about anything for a bit of peace. "A not tonight darling I've got a headache I can't face it", is pretty tame when you compare it to the games those winged divas play. Got to hand it to them they ain't flitting about with any nonsense unless they are in the mood and feel broody. A simple "Go away" out of the question. They'd rather fake their own demise, drastic measures to avoid one of life's little pleasures.
