Click hereThere are spiders on the curtains
There are earwigs on the light
There are lacewings on the windows
When all is dark at night
There are ants on all the circle stones
Chasing us away
They only fly but once a year
Why should it be today?
There are bees upon the heather
Butterflies on the gorse
Damsel flies, green and turquoise,
Glitter along the course
Why are dragonflies so enormous?
Why does honey come from bees?
Why do flies drown in my teacup?
What do insects mean to me?
Bees and butterflies suck the pollen
Ants and beetles prey on leaves
Sandhoppers dance on seaweed
And they sometimes dance on me!
So many shapes and sizes
Different colours, different hues
At least there are no scorpions
Hiding in my shoes!
