An insect has three body parts,
No more, no less than three:
Head and thorax, abdomen -
It sure makes sense to me!
The head has mouthparts well designed
And compound eyes as well.
Antennae sense the world around:
They feel and hear and smell.
The thorax is where legs are joined
Three pairs, six legs in all;
Two pairs of wings, or one, or none,
To fly or jump or crawl.
The abdomen is where are found
The systems that it needs
To breathe, to reproduce, digest
The food on which it feeds.
An insect has three body parts,
No more, no less than three:
Head and thorax, abdomen -
It sure makes sense to me! |
