Black Ladybug

Have you ever seen a ladybug

Flying through the air?

It's kinda cute as it shoots

From here to over there.

I bet you know the common bug

All red with 2 black spots.

But here's something new that happens to

Be black with 2 red dots.

This new insect is quite rare

It isn't often found.

If you're a lucky little ducky

And see it on the ground,

Then pick it up real carefully

And hold it in your hand.

Squint your eyes and whisper "Hi!

Isn't life just grand?"

See as it parts it's tiny wings

And watch it fly away.

It would seem as if you've seen

A black ladybug today.
