Did you miss me <br />While I was gone? <br />We’re you celebrating <br />With dance and song? <br />Did you really think <br />I’d be that long? <br />If you did, <br />Boy were you wrong! <br />For a bug must do what’s best, <br />And to everyone be a pest! <br />So I tell you this because - <br />Buzz Buzz! <br />In twenty two hours <br />Or maybe four, <br />No one had even <br />Knocked at my door. <br />Unless you count Vicki <br />Who is our friend. <br />She left to go home again. <br />Then there was a boy <br />Selling magazines, <br />The No Trespassing sign <br />Was faded clean. <br />Hanging there a spider web, <br />Please don’t let it touch your head! <br />Watch out for that bumble bee, <br />Buzz Buzz, it’s me! <br /> <br />My brother is a caterpillar, <br />He got run over by the farmer’s tiller. <br />It took off maybe fifty legs <br />But now he’s good at mumbly peg! <br />He still thinks that I’m a jerk, <br />And I agree when it comes to work! <br />He doesn’t like it when I laugh, <br />When I see him step in horse crap! <br />They may whinny when he walks by <br />Afraid of the whip that he will try <br />To smack them on their behinds, <br />Often they are seen to cry. <br />I am just kidding about the horse, <br />It is my job of course, of course! <br />If you don’t like it well that’s because, <br />Buzz Buzz!<br /><br />Robert Edgar Burns<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-bug-returns/
