There’s a very funny
Insect that you do not often spy,
And it isn’t quite a spider,
And it isn’t quite a fly.

It is something like a beetle
And a little like a bee,
But nothing like a woolly grub that climbs up a tree.

Its name is quite a hard one,
But you’ll learn it soon, try...
Antiwormtiegongolope.
