Minibeast Poems for Children

By Josie Whitehead

A cheeky bluebottle teased a frog.

It really was quite sad.

He buzzed around the poor frog’s head

And tried to drive him mad.

Another bluebottle laughed at him:

'He isn’t real,' he said.

'He’s just an ornamental frog.

Try that other one instead.'

The other frog sat oh so still.

You’d think that he was dead.

The stupid bluebottle looked at him:

'Yes, I’ll tease him instead.'

He tootled off across the pond:

'Well, I’m sure he can’t be real,' –

But as he buzzed a tongue shot out

And he became a froggy meal.
