One Red Bug


One little red bug said,
"I need a hug.
I'm very lonely and very needing love."

 Two little yellow bugs in the yard
pulling a string out of a plug.
Little red bug said,
"I need a hug."
Little yellow bugs said,
"Go away.
Come again some other day.
We're too busy unplugging the yard today."
Three little pink bugs sitting in a tree.
Little red bug said,
"I need a hug."
Little pink bug said,
"Go away.
I'm too busy today."
Four little blue bugs sat upon a chair,
Crawling under the cushion,
 And having fun to fair.
Red bug said,
"I need a hug."
The blue bugs said,
"We can't play very long.  Please go away.
We might give you a hug some other day."

Five little purple bugs went to a circus.
Red bug said,
"I need a hug."
"We're too much having fun.
Please come and have fun with us another day."
Six orange bugs eating on a leaf.
Red bug said,
"I need a hug."
Orange bugs say,
"We're eating today.
We can't hug you right now."

So red bug went and stayed on the tree, crying,
"I need a hug.
I need a friend, please."

One red bug came and said,
"I'm lonely too and I need a hug.
I'll only give you a hug if you give me a hug."
So the other red bug said,
"I'll give you a hug."
And so he did.

And then he had a friend.
And the other red bug had a friend too.

The end.
