Even dung beetles need love ;_;
                                        Dante, the nearsighted dung beetle,
                                        went out one day searching for love.
                                        He looked in the deepest burrows, 
                                        even on the green tree tops above.

                                          Mistakenly he came across a rock,
                                        he knew it was true love at first sight!
                                        Dante tried to woo his sweet darling,
                                          using all his knowledge and might.

                                            He decided to make her a gift,
                                          forming fresh dung into a large ball.
                                      He worked hard constructing the present,
                                        he was proud 'cause he gave it his all.

                                      But the shiny rock wasn't impressed,
                                          no, she didn't say a single word.
                                      Neither did she return the beetle's love,
                                        nor did she care about the big turd.

                                            Dante's heart was broken in two,
                                        there would be no romance in his life.
                                          No one to share his dung ball with,
                                            no girl beetle for him to call wife.

                                          Dante rolled the ball to his tunnel,
                                        it was getting late, time to hit the sack.
                                          Then he realized he wasn't too sad,
                                          now he didn't have to share his snack!

                                                      So remember...
                                              If you can't share your dung
                                                  with the one you love,
                                        then honey, love the dung you're with.;_;
