Ten feet tall;
yellow and grotesque
gene splicing
gone awry.
Eating anything
organic.
The mutant mantis
devours it all.
Eating the entire town
of Oshkosh;
spitting out
brick and stone.
Scientist developed
a clever scheme.
A brave soldier
confronted the mantis.
It held up a
bottle of Scotch
Swallowing it in one
Gulp, it gestured for
more.
Three cases later, he
threw in match. The
scientist had fried mantis
for lunch.
