I wrote myself a letter.
I wrote a letter to myself
I mailed it right away.
And, sure enough, the carrier, delivered it today.
I couldn't wait to get it. I nearly had to shout.
I quickly tore the envelope and pulled the letter out.
I anxiously unfolded it but now I must concede,
I'm clueless as to what it says. I haven't learned to read.

Don't Bother:
Don't bother any butterflies.
Give ladybugs no grief.
Don't irritate the inchworm as it strolls along the leaf.
Do not besiege the bumblebee or set upon the fly.
If a spider walks beside you let the spider sidle by.
Try not to plague the locust. Let the caterpillar pass.
Investigate no anthill with your magnifying glass.
Don't terminate the termite or antagonize the flea.
If a beetle is before you, let it be, yeah, let it be.
If you should come across a bug you now know what to do,
for if you do not bug the bug the bug will not bug you.
