A Beetle Called Bertha

I tip-toe among the little critters
That wriggle and flitter
Along our shared grassy track
They like to stop and have a chat
And proudly pose for a photo
When I am on my tummy down low
Today I met a beetle called Bertha
A lady who was frank and earthy
And like my grandma, her family came first
She protected her offspring through every cloudburst
And I seriously agreed with the lady beetle
That little critter’s mothers were not unlike people
