Romantic Garden Peotry

'Give us hugs',
Request the slugs.
'No, not I',
Snarls the fly.
'Not for me',
Purrs the bee.
'I'm too frail',
Wheedles the snail.
'I'm too cross!',
Snaps the wasp.
'You can't dance!',
Mock the ants.

'Have you heard',
Chirps the bird,
'Just gently sneak
Up to my beak...
Birds kiss bugs,
Especially slugs'.
