Leaf Beetles

Oh dear, oh dear!

The leaf beetles are here. 

Didn't they leave after my pumpkin harvest last year?

Why is this one resting on my Zinnia?

They have a special knack,
To track down their favourite snack.
Now they are all back,
For the watermelon attack.

Titty fruit leaves, soft and furry,

Also tasty, crunchy and yummy.

When it has filled up its tummy,

I hope it doesn't start a family.
