Disguised As a Ladybug
She came in as subtly as a verdent roach can
disguised as a ladybug, in a red polka dotted outfit
Beetles, grasshoppers and worms gave her a wide berth
feeling that something was wrong, but not quite knowing what
one brave firefly flew over to have a closer look
“It’s the one we banished,” he reported.
They chased her away, then, led by a young boy.
Bugs being who they are.
