Springtime Ball, Serena Axel [best books for 8th graders TXT] 📗

Willie our drummer volunteered, so agile and wild.
His eight spider's legs could spin a web over a child.


Inducting surprise as our companion was our only chance
as troops of red ants swarmed, their legs in short pants.
The fire’s reflection spread illumination on the site.
With sharp eyes we would battle with all of our might.


Then spying a glass prison with Mitzi inside, we attacked!
A strange sight to behold as I gave the first a good whack.
The true fact is the ants were unrelenting; such a mighty force.
Willie spun till his silk threads died out and were no more.

Mitzi's captors were stunned and fled in disbelief.
We gave them our all, we caused them much grief.
I ran to free Mitzi our firefly--she was in such a state!
Released, she gave me a buzz and said I was great


***


Joining our friends it is now time to dance,

Over the tree roots and among all the plants.

The music is hot; we are all filled with glee,

Especially Mitzi who is thankfully free!
