Caren Krutsinger Poet Limerick

If I Were a Bee, Bug and Fowl

If I was a young carpenter bee
I would bore in each and every tree
create a big tunnel
where family would funnel
If I was a carpenter bee

But if I was a cockchafer,
I would live a little safer,
I would hide my grubs,
for three years in muds,
If I was a cockchafer.

If not extinct, I would be a Dodo.
With my dumpy hooked bill, just so.
I would be “why-ing”
My wings aren’t flying
Bee, Bug and Fowl, don’t you know?

Michelle Faulkner December 11, 2018 at 1:04 PM Very catchy limericks, Caren - love the dodo the best! Caren Krutsinger December 11, 2018 at 7:45 PM I look at their photos and think what a shame they are gone.
