A LADYBIRD

By Josie Whitehead

Ladybird (A)

A ladybird sits on a flower,
   Enjoying Sunday lunch.
'What's so very tasty then
     To crunch, crunch, crunch?

​

'What have you discovered
      To munch on in July?'   
'While you like beef for dinner,
      I much prefer greenfly.

​

'I’m stocking up on foodstuffs
    Before the winter comes.
There are lots of tasty insects
    Which are going in my tum.

​

'Now I’m off to find a rose bush
     For this meal is at its end.
I eat things that kill your plants
    So I'm the gardener’s friend.'
