I'd like to introduce

r />

This charming Glow-worm, lover of simplicity.

She is easy to install

On jour ceiling or your wall,

And although this smacks a bit of eccentricity, It's really rather clever

For there after you will never

You will NEVER NEVER NEVER

Have the slightest need for using electricity.'

(At which, no less than fifty-two

Policemen cried, 'If this is true

That creature'll get some fabulous publicity!')

'And here we have Miss Spider

With a mile of thread inside her

Who has personally requested me to say

That she's NEVER met Miss Muffet

On her charming little tuffet -

If she had she'd NOT have frightened her away.

Should her looks sometimes alarm you

Then I don't think it would harm you

To repeat at least a hundred times a day:

"I must NEVER kill a spider

I must only help and guide her

And invite her in the nursery to play." '

(The Police all nodded slightly,

And the Firemen smiled politely,

And about a dozen people cried, 'Hooray!')

'And here's my darling Ladybird, so beautjul, so kind, My greatest comfort since this trip began.

She has four hundred children and she's left them all behind, But they're coming on the next peach of the can.'

(The Cops cried, 'She's entrancing!'
