SQUIGGULATION AND GIGGULATION
© By C. Pleasants York

 

There's nothing more squiggly, more jiggly, more wiggly --
They make me quite chortley and, I fear, rather giggly.

When I'm first introduced to a beetle or bug, 
I must be polite; I can't simply say, "Uggh!"

"How nice to meet you. How do you do? 
Would you care for a munch on a crisp leaf or two?"

Each tiny bug foot and each leglet minute, 
Each proboscis, each feeler - a sensation absolute!

A caterpillar taking a stroll on me
Tickles my fingers tremendously.

Does a caterpillar meandering on a twig or a rose 
Make it laugh or chuckle, do you suppose?
