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.
