***the Proposal

Who will marry me, said the flea, Why ever should I, said the fly, I would willingly give you a hug, said the bug, That would be nice, said the wood lice, I could sit down beside her, said the spider, Well I certainly can't, said the ant, Well of course you can't, that's absurd, said the ladybird, Whoever does will come a cropper, said the grasshopper, I think one should take heed, said the centipede, I wouldn't for a thousand quid, said the aphid, She's got a tongue like a rasp, said the wasp, Oh, I shall remain free, said the bee, I think you're probably right, said the mite, All I can say is, she's a killer, said the caterpillar, She'll suck you dry!
