Bill the beetle

Bill the beetle travelled
quite a long way from his home
inside a box of bananas
for so long he did roam

A giant of the rainforest
an endangered little bug
when he arrived in London
people there could only shrug

It was a shock that he survived
the chemicals and cold
but hardbacked Bill was mighty tough
with guts that made him bold

From there he went to Cambridge
and into an insect zoo
where keepers could make sure
that old Bill made a friend or two
