I have a praying mantis, I keep it for a pet; It dances on my hand, A funny minuet.
But out in our back garden, I like to watch it catch Lots of harmful insects, And guard our vegie patch.
“Go, Mantis, Go!” by James Aitchison
Leave a commentI have a praying mantis, I keep it for a pet; It dances on my hand, A funny minuet.
But out in our back garden, I like to watch it catch Lots of harmful insects, And guard our vegie patch.
