Three millimetres \u00a0the smallest yet<\/address>\n
\u00a0But with \u00a0my blue dress on \u00a0well<\/address>\n
it did let\u00a0<\/address>\n
me shrink down \u00a0rapidly \u00a0to their size<\/address>\n
and obviously then realise<\/address>\n
On different plants essentially<\/address>\n
How sophisticated \u00a0they really be<\/address>\n
\u00a0<\/address>\n
Beans and Cabbags Peach<\/address>\n
And more
\nflowers and other fruits<\/address>\n
galore<\/address>\n
Specialists in many ways<\/address>\n
hypercriticalness it pays<\/address>\n
\u00a0<\/address>\n
\u00a0preference for the shady side<\/address>\n
of leaves \u00a0it achieves<\/address>\n
a better ride<\/address>\n
having a symbiotic \u00a0affair<\/address>\n
with Ants \u00a0by being \u00a0able<\/address>\n
\u00a0to share<\/address>\n
its like a protection racket we<\/address>\n
are cared for\u00a0<\/address>\n
as we ought to be<\/address>\n
And our discharge<\/address>\n
Is our \u00a0currency<\/address>\n
\u00a0ants \u00a0are \u00a0sweet \u00a0Toothed<\/span><\/address>\n
and \u00a0our poo
\nis extra fine<\/address>\n
its \u00a0called honeydew\u00a0<\/address>\n
\u00a0<\/address>\n
if you like\u00a0<\/address>\n
our \u00a0relationdhip \u00a0was born<\/address>\n
and was how \u00a0we reached\u00a0<\/address>\n
and found our Dawn<\/address>\n
they could milk us of our worth<\/address>\n
and each of us has our<\/address>\n
place on earth<\/address>\n
\u00a0<\/address>\n
so we enter their kingdom<\/address>\n
in Winter and they<\/address>\n
release us \u00a0In Spring
\nto go our own way<\/address>\n
we have our enemies<\/address>\n
many Yes who\u00a0<\/address>\n
would kill us dead<\/address>\n
And as many do<\/address>\n
the lady bug<\/address>\n
and lace wings, \u00a0they<\/address>\n
along with the damsel fly<\/address>\n
that say<\/address>\n
hovers \u00a0and pirates<\/address>\n
And some \u00a0wasps too<\/address>\n
ready to pounce
\nand upon us, chew<\/address>\n
\u00a0<\/address>\n
we release \u00a0waxy liquid<\/address>\n
through<\/address>\n
our conicles<\/address>\n
thats what we do<\/address>\n
some defence<\/address>\n
itS only the tiniest number that die<\/address>\n
and the lady bird<\/address>\n
sbe can then apply<\/address>\n
\u00a0<\/address>\n
her language prowess<\/address>\n
Its how she pretends<\/address>\n
to be one if us \u00a0Our\u00a0<\/address>\n
Most dangerous Of friends
\nwe are proficient\u00a0<\/address>\n
And have a boxing skill<\/address>\n
we use our legs<\/address>\n
and blood we \u00a0Do spill<\/address>\n
\u00a0<\/address>\n
we employ soldiers<\/address>\n
who protect and serve<\/address>\n
we all possess wings<\/address>\n
and can flatten the curve<\/address>\n
some have our wings<\/address>\n
up<\/address>\n
others \u00a0wings \u00a0down<\/address>\n
But a blast of \u00a0the katabatic<\/address>\n
and we go to town\u00a0<\/address>\n
\u00a0<\/address>\n
3 milli metre<\/address>\n
but magic indeed<\/address>\n
the great witch of Eden<\/address>\n
helps \u00a0us to succeed<\/address>\n
we do not \u00a0lay eggs<\/address>\n
we have no time for them<\/address>\n
we give birth to live babies<\/address>\n
each one a gem<\/address>\n
\u00a0<\/address>\n
and \u00a0No fertilisation\u00a0<\/address>\n
we are advanced bugs<\/address>\n
with such perspicacity
\na purist that tugs<\/address>\n
a \u00a0meticulous \u00a0path\u00a0<\/address>\n
Green flies and black<\/address>\n
breeding in Summer<\/address>\n
when we are under attack<\/address>\n
\u00a0<\/address>\n
our mouths are quite strange<\/address>\n
like needles in fact<\/address>\n
we bite and we suck<\/address>\n
and \u00a0the poor plants react<\/address>\n
by dying on us<\/address>\n
which \u00a0is clearly why<\/address>\n
you \u00a0lot \u00a0get<\/address>\n
Angry with us<\/address>\n
