Ken Kesey described one
who flew over the cuckoo's nest.
Occasionally a bull
from the abbatoir escapes.
Sometimes a silkworm
which God begat
makes it to adulthood
without being boiled in a vat.
In memento mori
for the Bombyx mori.
Note: Bombyx mori: the
Chinese mulberry silkworm
Disturbing way silkworms made China world's leader produces 58,000 tons
of silk yearly
