Spider's Corner: Our Favorites
Bug (Poetry contest)

Bugs
The ladybug is a lady, sipping at her tea.
The grasshopper is a gentleman, playing his fiddle at three.
The ant is a worker, wearing a hardhat on its head.
But the fly does nothing, buzzing lazily instead.
The butterfly is very dainty. She always goes to balls.
She always dances on the flowers until the last petal falls.
The praying mantis is always clean and goes to church.
And the dung beetle is always dirty and never goes to church.
Now listen, all my children, to everything I say,
And you will remember this to your very last day.
