The Bugs Poem

The bugs had a meeting by an old chestnut tree.
“Why don’t humans like us?” said an angry, young bee.
“Well,” said the beetle, “everyone knows
Sometimes moths eat people’s clothes.”

“Excuse me!” said the moth. “Some beetles eat wood.

According to the
They eat doors and furniture! That isn’t good!” beetle, why do
“People don’t like my legs,” said the spider. “They’re hairy. humans dislike bugs?
I don’t know why, but humans think that we’re scary.”

“Flies annoy people,” said the spider. “Here’s how …

They make a lot of noise! They’re making noise now!
Spiders are quiet. I’m not telling lies. And
We help humans, because we catch flies!”

“Poor Fly!” said the centipede. “Oh no! Don’t cry!

We’re all food for animals. It isn’t just Fly. Do birds eat
Birds and bats, fish and frogs eat me and you. centipedes?

“And I know,” said the bee, “sometimes we sting. “Let’s tell the world!” shouted the ants.

But bees are working in hives as we speak.
“Yes!” said the snail. The grasshopper agreed.
They’re making honey for humans to eat.”
So they all wrote this poem for people to read.

“Hey,” said the worm, “I’m ugly and thin,

But when I move through the soil, air and water get in.
I’m useful. I want those big humans to know Why do worms think
That I help all their plants and their flowers to grow.” they are useful?
