Thank You Poet Entomologist
Help! I stand desperately on a precipice,
and ask you, poet, what kind of bug is this?
I am not an entomologis.
It was on top of my laptop computer.
Is it male or female or is it neuter?
I can't afford an entomolotutor.
It gazes at me through a compound eye,
I see no wings. Does it walk or fly,
strangely across the ground or sky?
A praying mantis it is not.
It has six legs. That's quite a lot.
his photo of him is all I caught.
For this question, I apologize,
I've no skill to entomologize.
It's less than a half centimeter in size.
I knew you'd know it - happy you could assist.
This sort of bug is too easily dismissed.
Thank you, poet entomologist.
