Gone but not forgotten

Arthur and Martha, the two most famous ladybirds in my stream (It's easy to be big in a small stream) have left the garden for good. They had offers from over the pond which they couldn't refuse. The offers were made by a Texan Dutchman with lots of money and silky smooth words. He promised them implants, botox, liposuction and a 24/7 party life, I couldn't do anything to stop them. They were off to the big time, lured by promises of the high life. Before they went, they paid for some wooden statues of themselves to be placed on the council tree stump behind the plum tree and these are they. I suppose that I should be grateful that they did leave something to remember them by.

PS

I just had a call from Arthur saying that they had been duped into some bug porn shoots and life wasn’t so rosy (although the sex was good), Martha wasn’t too sure... Because of this I offer this warning. if you see a cigar smoking Texan with loads of cash and a winning smile being followed by a hordes of women with huge assets pandering to his every whim, don’t be duped. He is only after the bugs in your garden for his wicked ways...

Happy New Year
