Bug Poems
Hey, Bug
by Lilian Moore
Hey, bug, stay!
Don't run away.
I know a game that we can play.
I'll hold my fingers very still
And you can climb a finger-hill.
No, no.
Don't go.

Song of the Bugs
by Margaret Wise Brown
Some bugs pinch
And some bugs creep
Some bugs buzz themselves to sleep
Buzz Buzz Buzz Buzz
This is the song of the bugs.
Some bugs fly
When the moon is high
Some bugs make a light in the sky
Flicker, flicker firefly
......
Menacing Insects
by Raymond A Foss
A big fat black dirigible of a fly
careening around the office
buzzed me, like a test pilot and the tower.
I could feel its clumsy wake
Before it landed on the wall taunting me to strike back
Carol said, "They're huge this time of year,
you could almost put a saddle on them,"
The banter reminded me of the June Bug
