I once knew a beetle called Stag,
Who about his great antlers would brag.
He would say to the lady
Stag beetles, just maybe
I'll give you a feel for a fag.

Fag: UK slang word for cigarette

Please be kind to the lovely stag beetle.
Any beetles reading this should be aware that smoking can damage your health.
