An Exchange for Those Buggy Moments

Let’s give a moment of silence

for the tomato-red ladybug,

Who reminds us that ambling

is just as fulfilling as humming by

With those hard-to-see wings.

Let’s give a moment of cheers

to the plumpest dung beetle,

Who is as honorable as

any shielded warrior

For loving to deal with the dirty work.

Let’s give a moment of simply

offering a hand

To the gardens and grasslands

that allow the tomato-red ladybug,

And the plumpest dung beetle,

to thrive in buggy jives.

We ought to thank them

with any kind of gift, after all.

Your empty plastic bottle

just won’t do.

How about fetching some water

Beyond the city walls

And pouring a misty shower

Like Victoria Falls?
