June bugs aren’t bugs at all. They are beetles who have a strange call. The babies, who live in the ground, Suck the sap from tender roots and make not a sound. These beetles are the farmer’s foe. They eat his fruits and vegetables as they go. Metallic green is the color they wear, They will hit your car and make you swear. From your hummingbird feeder they will steal the nectar, Of humans and birds they are no respecter. Good thing they don’t last long, To a long list of pests they belong. ~ © Phyllis Ann (Starbird55@msn.com) ~ May 2004 BACK If you enjoyed this page, check these out: Miz Lani Cow Humor TomCat's Morning And.......for many others, click the link for HOME.
