Mantis Oh! Green Mantis.... Poem by Dr PJ Raj Kamal

Mantis Oh! Green Mantis....



Mantis Oh! green mantis
Have you ever seen ants?
Yes, I've seen armies, marching in the fields
Carrying food to stores
But I do always keep away
Or I could also be carried away!

Mantis Oh! green mantis
Have you ever seen antlions?
Yes I have seen many, lurking in their pits
Throwing up sand at times
But I do always keep away
Or I could also be trapped anyway!

Mantis Oh! green mantis
Have you ever seen elephants?
Yes, I have seen herds, nibbling in the woods
Blowing nose at times
But I do always keep away
Or I could also be blown off anyway!

Mantis Oh! green mantis
Have you ever seen us kids?
Yes, I have seen groups, of you naughty kids
Chasing butterflies
But I do always keep away
Or I could also be chased away!
