A beetle spoke to me today
It had nothing much to say
I was crawling through the grass below
When it stopped by to say hello
Looking at me with its many eyes
A mosaic made of greyish dyes
This beetle nodded and spoke of May
A time when it had stocked an array
Of scrumptious leaves that blew away
With the harrowing storm from across the bay,
Its tragic tale of morsels lost
And fear of the imminent winter’s frost
Moved me to prayers for one quick meal
Nice and juicy so that I’d feel
Its head being ground between my teeth
As it was freed from its imprisoning sheath
While I basked in the glory of the sun
And another banal battle won
Against those bugs that snivel and wail
About all the times their methods fail.
End: 9:18 p.m.
