Ladybug

I'm the fairy of the garden
I protect it, cure and guard it
from the beetles and the lice
and the army of the aphids
I'm revered, I'm beloved
like a queen around the globe
even preserved from the cold
jealously kept more than gold
I eat aphids, I eat lice
I' m pretty, red and spotted 
save the crops, save the oranges
after Our Lady named appropriate.
