A Likely Tale

A  LIKELY  TALE



Husband beetle gets  home late 
Not just at seven but well after eight
Wife asks, what’s your excuse
For being  on the loose?

Well,  I just got inside a window pane
And couldn’t get back out again
I  guess  I  musta  dozed
Cos when I woke up it was closed
Then  a  cat began to push me
And a little boy tried to squash me
Then a girl scooped me up with paper
And ended my indoor caper
She put me outside in the rain
So then I came home again
And that’s it,  my sweet,
All I can do is repeat.

She said, well if I had a penny 
For each time my antennae
Have picked up that story, honey, 
We’d build a new house  with  the money.
