A Bug In a Bath

A BUG IN A BATH

I'm what you call a bug
When humans see me they go UHG

Humans don't care about my needs
Or my sometimes good deeds

But such bothersome things
Roll right off my wings

When I can dip my feet
Blistered from the heat 

In the bird bath for which I'm looking
When on a hot day I'm cooking

But the frog over there
Is beginning to stare

I'm sure he sees me as a meal that's free

So I'll jump quick in this pool
And swim fast like a fool 

BECAUSE

A nice cooling splash
And this bug revives fast

Thanks Anne Lise. My strange sense of humor just can't be kept under control HaHa
