Tweedle Dum Deedle
~*Marge Tindal*~

Tweedle Dum Deedle
the little dung beetle
rolls merrily through the day
His nose to the ground
in his world of surround
not caring what others may say

In the eco-system it seems
each critter has his chore
though you may think you're too mature
to roll around in manure
the dung beetle sure knows the score

Tweedle Dum Deedle
the little dung beetle
Goes merrily on his way
gathering off-cast meals
spinning, spinning, spinning
his little eco-wheels~



*Aren't I just a wealth of knowledge, waiting for a place to happen ?

Check out the usefulness of these creatures of our world.

the spirit rejoices over what it has left.

Such a tasty subject!  lol  I have seen many pictures of dung beetles while watching live cams in Africa, they are quite fascinating creatures.  Who would have thought to create a bug that would eat dung?

Cute as a bug! There's just one word that you used with which I beg to differ--"little"--if that insect is little where you live, I ain't visiting! lol

Huggums,

Oh Marge, I have to agree with Bonnie ... yucka, yucka, yucka.

Hi Marge, I on the other hand, find this beetle absolutely fascinating!!  Ron    

Seems you two zoom-ologists are two peas in a pod; or is that dung!!!

Hugs and luvs, Marti and
Ron

Dear Marge: Only you would find a poem in a picture of a dung beetle! Clever though they may be, you are by far the more clever!

Marge, you can find something poetic in everything you see...I have to admit, I would have never found a poem in a dung beetle.  So, I tip my hat to you, my friend, for this achievement.
