I am a little insect

I am a little insect

I am a little insect
and I've just grown some wings
but what I wish I really had
is something sharp that stings

For flying up in the air
seems dangerous to me
with wasps and hornets up there
and the buzzing bumble bee

I've got nothing to protect me
from their nasty bites
I'm very ill equipped my friends
to get involved in fights

So I think I will stay down here
among the worms and bugs
They seem a much more friendly lot
especially the slugs

Retsina...Your poem reminds me of life...some of us are the wasps/hornets that sting and some are the "little flying insect", gentle with wings...guess we find out which we are as time goes by! Great poem,not just for kids but all in how we look at it!::
