Beetle Sleep

BEETLE SLEEP Do beetles go home at night? Or just sleep wherever they happen to alight? Do wife beetles ask themselves If beetle husbands are out searching the foodshelves? Or are they having a cold one, Listening to what the beetle guys have done? Do beetle children ask where’s daddy today? (And haven’t seen him since April or May.) How does beetle mail reach them by road if they have no fixed abode? Do they just collect it at the post office? Or use another communication artifice? Next time you see a beetle in the dirt Don’t attempt his progress to divert Let him continue home for the night So kids, mum, and he can all sleep tight.
