Pecan Bugs
Back before time of times
Before animals touched the earth
There was already life galore
When insects ruled the earth
Had wings and controlled the skies
And in numbers they ruled the floor
But for each type that existed
there was also an antagonist
So that was where I started
Searching for my protagonist
For something that was
a little sweet and nutty
But also a little sour
to turn his enemy to putty
And then I found
the antidote to that
humming little bug
Saying “Bah” as it goes by
As it scurries and crawls
under the rug
I stumbled and discovered
these playful little bugs
and not a humbug to be found
With chocolate kisses
and crystals on their legs
These little guys could rule the mound
And even though
the humbugs can be quite large
and have a lot of power
These little bugs
would stand ground and gather
until they created a tower
Now I’m proud to announce
It’s finally here
A new day dawns
Cause like I always say
Everything goes better
with Pecans
Just remember
Never give up trying
Like a pecan bug at play
Because there’s always
a different way
to keep the humbugs at bay
