June Bugs
If I were ugly as a June Bug
I’d never have a date
But judging from their numbers
That has never been their fate
And what’s with those Cicadas
They are even homelier yet
Their body shaped more like a bus
Than a sexy, sleek Corvette
Seems after dark when insects mate
Looks don’t come in to play
Wonder if there’d be so many
If they mated in the day
But oh the music that they make
When they do their mating dance
The gentle lulling song they sing
Leaves nothing left to chance
It lures their lovers to their nest
And woos them like champagne
The trees and shrubs are boppin'
At the insect lover’s lane
So maybe they don’t really care
About looks or sexy acts
Or maybe I am just quite blind
To insect beauty facts
