Among the thousands of beetles
under the sun
a whirligig beetle
is the most fun

He is an insect of gladness
joy and mirth
whirling in circles
to tickle the waters on earth

His slit eyes look to see
both above and below
The laughing ripples he weaves
on sunlit pools aglow

Among the thousands of beetles
that swim. fly, climb and run
a whilrigig beetle
is the most fun
