adjusting directional microphone... (squeek, squeek)
tuning in now... (eeeerrrooooo....)
yes, we have him, let's listen in... (kkkkkkkkkkkkkk)(static)
...diddly beepity boppity do
a fuzz for me and a fuzz for you
fuzzy eyes and fuzzy shoes
diddly beepity boppity do…
My cool, cool shades are fuzzy, too
I’m flying backwards, around and through
your delicate gardens, and… achooooooo!
sorry, allergies…
Yippity dippity hummity humm
working, working in the sun
or am I really working at all?
Tickle my mandibles and have some fun…
About my cool shades, I’ll bet you’ve asked
if they’re on my head, or on my…
well, not my head where my antennae’s attached…
What are they all goggling at? Little me?
Yes, I am more interesting than a flea,
but my life is quite a humdrum one,
heavy on the hum-hum-hum…
Biddley beepity… hey, a flower
smelling like an April shower;
I think I’ll take one home tonight
and bring soft romance to my wife…
Skitter, skitter, pitter patter
here comes a cat who sees a rat
who sees a mouse who sees a bat
who’d eat me whole. Stop that cat!
Uuuuuuuuh, so many tasty petals
I believe I’ll pop, I’m getting fat
must exercise more, so after that
I can eat more petals. How about that!
Zimmy, zimmy zooie zay
I am a busy bug today
a humming bug, humming away
under and over and around I play
in your garden, in your garden…

Yes!
You ran with the prompt excellently and what is more, I smiled as I read it. So, Bippity Bop, a
on the hop!
I do not know what Pamela wrote below me, but how could she not love the whole presentation?
Importantly, I did!
Wonderful personification motoring along with the best of good humor. Thank you.

I loved it! The personification is excellent, and presentation is superb. I love what you did with my background.
I heard this verse and felt this verse. Excellent entry poet! Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you for this gem. ~Pamela

Now that is one clever...clever...clever! bug!
who knew moths had so much going for them? I didn't!
and next time I take a fly swatter after such a brilliant bug I just might stop first and listen to
his colorful song of life. It better be as good as
this one though.. or splat.
