Quit buggin' me!

Several years ago a composer friend asked me to write a libretto for his opera, subject my own to choose. I wrote what I still think is the best thing I've ever written, about bugs. Bugs in love, tragically, of course, pinned to walls never to reach each other. The composer laughed and said with disgust "No one wants to hear about bugs! That's disgusting!" Within 3 months, out came "A Bug's Life," "Antz", and several other blockbuster bug-themed things. Hmph! I hold that over his head to this day.
