"Why am I always hurryin'?" asked the beetle
To the little ant.  "Because," said the ant, "you're always doin' things illegal."
"Nay!" cried the beetle in self-defense,
"I am a victim of circumstance!"
"Likely story," retorted the ant.  "But it's true!"
Complained the beetle, "Just ask the morning dew; she'll tell you."

So the little ant sought out the morning dew,
And asked her if what the beetle had said was true.
The morning dew wiped the drops from her eyes,
And answered, "If that's what the beetle said, I'm not one to criticize."
The ant shrugged his shoulders upon hearing the morning dew's words,
And muttered to himself, as he walked away, that she and the beetle
were for the birds.
