One little ladybug, looking for fun,
Decided the dragonflies needed a run!
She got their attention, I'd say, rather heartily
When on their heads, acorns dropped smart-ily.
Offering the challenge, she presented "raspberries,"
And led them a chase, more intensely than merry.
Her pursuers, outfoxed, they dropped here and there
While our little ladybug, it seemed, tired nare.
When at last one lone dragonfly had pursued her,
She dropped down to gather her breath.
Our little dragonfly lighted beside her,
And wondered, I'm certain, "What's next?"
All of a sudden, out of the blue,
a small band of ladybugs appeared, it is true.
The poor little dragonfly took off like a shot,
and the ladybugs chased him... and likely as not,
They'd gained a victory o'er that fly, But
A thousand more dragonflies just happened by...
You might wonder what, as this sonnet does end,
lesson those li'l red bugs might just rend?
Perhaps they would tell us,
"Hey! When you go out to play,
Don't tease the big fellows---
They might chase YOU away!"
PS There are quite a number of related little videos you may enjoy over there...
Thanks, Randy and Meg!
