Thanks, Praise.

Don't think I saw anybody mention "Ladybird, ladybird, fly away home"; Peter Paul & Mary used to sing a version of it, and there's a different version in the DT (more recent; it refers to the telly). 'Course, where I come from they're ladybugs.

Sorcha, I agree there should be hymns about kosher insects; I think what you're calling a grasshopper is what the Christian Scriptures call a locust, part of the diet of John the Baptist. As a Baptist I have long thought we should eat more insects at our potlucks. (Gimme dat ol' time cuisine!) (Of course, I'm the one who in another thread was extolling geoduck sushi, which I'm afraid is treyf.)
