Higgledy piggledy everso squiggerdly
rolls the dung beetle all over the land
picking up masses and even morasses
making the most of whatever's at hand.
Little dung beetle, oh little dung beetle
why does your heart sing for buckets of it
life rolling onwards backwards and forwards
shovelling up elephants bit after bit.

Sapphos Sisteralmost 15 years ago.... and wonderful words. Funny and affectionate too. I think that we all love the poor dung beetle now.

normal jeanalmost 15 years agoCan you take a lowly dung beetle and make him seem so adorable? You are on my faves list, I hope you know that. I enjoy reading you so much, it amazes me every time you post a new poem. Your poetic strength is growing in leaps and bounds!
heck, I'm almost jealous :D
but I hope you do know,I love you and your sweet kind heart.
This poem just tickled me shitless, hehe
greenmountaineeralmost 15 years agoThe title alone made my day. I have this silly image of John Keats and a dung beetle I just can't get out of my mind.
