Who will marry me, said the flea,
Why ever should I, said the fly,
I would willingly give you a hug, said the bug,
That would be nice, said the wood lice,
I could sit down beside her, said the spider,
Well I certainly can't, said the ant,
Well of course you can't, that's absurd, said the ladybird,
Whoever does will come a cropper, said the grasshopper,
I think one should take heed, said the centipede,
I wouldn't for a thousand quid, said the aphid,
She's got a tongue like a rasp, said the wasp,
Oh, I shall remain free, said the bee,
I think you're probably right, said the mite,
All I can say is, she's a killer, said the caterpillar,
She'll suck you dry!
Hi. This is very clever and well put together. I imagine you had fun writing it!
Wonderful we could take this even further but this seems to have captured it perfectly. Love Duncan
Thanks for your comments, Ernestine. And thank you for pointing me to The Proposal. I love it's rhythm. Hoping to read all of your poems when I get time. Eve x
