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.
