Cicadas

Cicadas

The Cicadas
The greatest bug on earth
And seventeen years later
After mated
Comes birth
And so many reasons
For life no matter how small
With four different seasons
Winter, spring, summer and fall
And the Cicadas,
Can sleep through them all.
And, for such a bug so small
They have a mighty call
The Cicadas, the greatest bug on earth.
