Stick Bugs, Thick Bugs
Stick bugs
Thick bugs
Little lightning-quick bugs
Bugs that buzz on summer days and bugs that make me itchy
Pink bugs
Stink bugs
Falling-in-my-drink bugs
I’ll put some on the picnic mat — they’ll make my mother twitchy!
Thick bugs
Little lightning-quick bugs
Bugs that buzz on summer days and bugs that make me itchy
Pink bugs
Stink bugs
Falling-in-my-drink bugs
I’ll put some on the picnic mat — they’ll make my mother twitchy!
