always have to
rhyme.

me…….it will feel
good.

Night Flyers
BY: S.A.N. (My Grandma)
Mosquitoes and june
bugs and fire flies,
all come out at
night. It’s fun to
catch the fire flies,
But the mosquitoes
like to bite.

The june bugs hit the
windows, and land
upon your clothes,
But the pesky little
mosquito leaves a
mark that really
grows.

the june bugs and
fire flies, But
beware of the
mosquitoes
