Have You Ever Had

Janet Kuypers (November 12, 1998)


Have you ever had a bug sandwich before?
I’m sure that your answer is probably no,
even though there have probably been a few
bugs in your fast food sandwiches you bought

But for now, don’t think about that

I know when you’re in army training in the
United states you have to be prepared for
doing things like eating bugs, so I know that
some people have emotionally or mentally
prepared for eating a bug sandwich, I suppose

That doesn’t mean that anyone wants to buy
one, and that doesn’t mean that anyone likes
the idea
So one year
when it was Christmas
time, a friend of mine gave me a bug sandwich

Only because she thought I had quote unquote
everything, but I probably didn’t have a bug
sandwich

So it wasn’t technically a real
sandwich, it had three plastic bugs inside a
plastic or rubber slice of bread sandwich.

I kept the bug sandwich on top of my fridge for
a few years

Not two plastic bugs, well, maybe
three, are at the bottom of my fish tank

So
in a way, I still have kept the memory of the
bug sandwich alive
because now the plastic
bugs are hanging out with the fish under water

So... If you’re ever wondering what to get
for someone for Christmas, if you have to buy
a gift for the person who has everything, so to
speak, then go to a trick shop
and get then a bug
sandwich
In a strange way, I’m sure they’ll like it
