Tom went to the ugly bug ball Strange insects invaded the hall Folks dressed up as fleas, Cockroaches and bees The smile on his face said it all Tom hoped for a little romance Asked a cute centipede to dance She whacked him on the nose When he trod on her toes He went home in an ambulance! 7th April 2017

Those who consider your humourous poetry lightweight are wrong. Your work is brilliant.

Dancing with a centipede sure does come with challenges, so many toes to try to avoid. :) This was fun Jan
