Once upon a time, in a land far away,
Lived creatures of wonder and play.
From flying dragons with scales so bright,
To leaf-rolling weevils that hid from sight.

In the rivers swam archerfish with ease,
Shooting water at bugs they would seize.
While on the leaves, a leaf insect would hide,
Camouflaged perfectly, with nowhere to confide.

And in the fields, a praying mantis would wait,
For an unsuspecting bug to take the bait.
While deep in the ocean, a sea dragon did roam,
With its long tail and spikes like a comb.

These creatures of the earth, sky, and sea,
Are a true wonder for you and me.
So next time you look up or down,
Remember the world's magic all around!
