Poem 2: Flee Beetles by Susan Benn

Flee Beetles by Susan Benn

We are the Proud Flea Beetles.

Prolific Pollinators

So So SO SOO small you can’t see us.

We LOVE Yellow!

Everything and Anything Yellow.

We are YELLOW OBSESSED!!

We sometimes get confused by mistaken yellow things.

For example:

A lady’s jacket can look EXACTLY like Wild Mustard.

VAST yellowness

collar and sleeves....

deep pockets....

hide and seek

front and back...

NO taste??

NO smell ???

NO SEX ???!!!

NO JOY...
