Every Insect
Every insect (ant, fly, bee)
Is divided into three:
One head, one chest, one stomach part.
Some have brains.
All have a heart.
Insects have no bones,
No noses.
But with feelers they can smell
Dinner half a mile away.
Can your nose do half as well?
Also you’d be in a fix
With all those legs to manage:
Six.
