Counting Beetles
I have been spending time on the porchlet lately.
Counting beetles.
There were only two this morning.
They took a long time to count
Because they kept on moving.
I don't have to think about
The stupidity of my life
When I am counting beetles.
They may have been male and female.
I hope not.
They never touched.
It would have been so sad.
And yet,
I think if they had mated
I would have squashed them with my foot!
