The Marvelous World of Entomol

An excerpt from 'Entomol', a children's book written and illustrated by Julius David Adelar, whose published works include 'A Trevott's Tale'. Ballad of the Beetles Off you go! Off you go! To meet the one who can show What it is that you think you might know. So we bring you to the great gate With the utmost speed and all due haste, So that you will not be overly late For such a very important date. For you must travel to where the sun sinks To find the one who grasps as much as he thinks! Far into the west leads the track, Where those of the green and the black Do dwell in both mansion and in shack, Giving each other little slack. Yet do they come together to attack A little ball with a whack and a thwack! Then just beyond here Does lie the Fungi Forest, most perilous and drear, Where along this dreadful path of fear, There is nothing to cheer. Now if you have traveled so far, Pass the high ant hills that do the land mar, Where the black and the red forever make war. Thus in those hollowed hills you will find naught but strife. For here are two foes whose lack of reason is rife. Therein do not linger, for you will do well to leave with your life. So flee fast from there— Onwards to a place without compare, To find the Great Water, where none have a care. The old toady you will herein find If you have not already lost your mind. But do take care that you repay him in kind Lest you be dealt a deadly blind. And so, off you go on this wildest of rides, Far into the west where the Croaker resides; Upon the Great Water, as it ebbs and flows in ripples and in tides— To find the frog, who betides, The truth, or only lies?
