The Charmer
Bringing luck to all on whom she lands,
her six propellers tickle the hand.
With spotted Elytra of red and black
symmetrical patterns to say stay back,
to predators who would harm this beauty;
the Ladybug will always be a real cutie.
She has a sense of smell within her feet,
her sense of direction you just can’t beat.
A farmer’s friend she keeps away aphids,
and she won’t harm crops like katydids.
Though beware hungry birds little armored girl;
hey gardeners give this sweet helper a whirl.
