Ugh! a Bug — Mary Bono

What do you do when a bug's bugging you?
They're scary, they're hairy
They swoop, buzz, and hover.
But most bugs are harmless.
There's no need to take cover.

Yes, some bugs are nasty, but most bugs are not.
It's simply a matter of which bug you've got.
Whether spiny or shiny or speedy or slow
There will always be some bugs wherever you go.

Mary Bono's eye-popping three-dimensional bug sculptures combine with vibrant colored-pencil and watercolor paintings and playful verse to create a delightful ode to those little critters that make us squeal and squirm.
