Insects

All these insects, all these insects,

so many shapes and sizes.

Crawling with 6 legs over sticky, gooey mud.

Crickets squeaking all night, that’s not right!

Black and yellow stripy bees,

buzzing everywhere.

Buzzzzzzzzz!!

Stick Insects blend in with trees.

So many insects to learn about its taking over my brain,

Arrhhhh!!
