Near the bank of the river one warm spring day a new life began and her name was Mae Mama held Mae in a warm tender hug then said goodbye to her sweet baby bug You have your whole life a day perhaps more Don’t waste it Mae Use your wings and explore
Her delicate wings were feathery light With a flit and a flutter Mae took off in flight
There was so much to see and so much to know but a dangerous thing was lurking below It was BIG It was HUNGRY It needed to EAT A newly hatched mayfly would make a great treat
