And then there was a ladybug –
or ladybird, if you prefer –
who walked upon my very arm,
across my acreage of hair;
I had to pop her on a leaf,
where another ladybug stood,
I thought they’d hit it off,
reach an understanding, good;
but, one or ‘tother gave a head-but,
and one did fall from grace,
onto another leaf,
to find another place.
