A Wantsup on a Thyme


"On a crescent moon night,

When the twilight draws near,

In a garden of herbs,

The Wantsups appear.


With tales to tell

And stories to share,

The curious crawlies

All wait for them there.


The wasps seem to wander

and the millipedes meander,

but a beetle waits patiently

upon a coriander.


The flies on a rosemary

Sit facing the stage.

A spider puts her feet up;

all eight on a sage.


A bee on a basil,

A slug in it's slime,

And telling it's tale:

A Wantsup on a thyme."

 

Coming soon: How the Wantsup got his sword.
