The Bugs Poem

The bugs had a meeting by an old chestnut tree. “Flies annoy people,” said the spider. “Here’s how …
“Why don’t humans like us?” said an angry, young bee. They make a lot of noise! They’re making noise now!
“Well,” said the beetle, “everyone knows Spiders are quiet. I’m not telling lies. And
Sometimes moths eat people’s clothes.” We help humans, because we catch flies!”

“Excuse me!” said the moth. “Some beetles eat wood. “Poor Fly!” said the centipede. “Oh no! Don’t cry!
They eat doors and furniture! That isn’t good!” We’re all food for animals. It isn’t just Fly.
“People don’t like my legs,” said the spider. “They’re hairy. Birds and bats, fish and frogs eat me and you.
I don’t know why, but humans think that we’re scary.” We’re an important part of the food chain. It’s true.”

“And I know,” said the bee, “sometimes we sting. “Let’s tell the world!” shouted the ants.
It’s for our protection. It’s a natural thing. “We’re important to animals, humans and plants!”
But bees are working in hives as we speak. “Yes!” said the snail. The grasshopper agreed.
They’re making honey for humans to eat.” So they all wrote this poem for people to read.

“Hey,” said the worm, “I’m ugly and thin,

But when I move through the soil, air and water get in.
I’m useful. I want those big humans to know
That I help all their plants and their flowers to grow.”
