THE TRIANTIWONTIGONGOLOPE
Written by C.J. Denis
Read from “A Book for Kids“ published in 1921.
There’s a very funny insect that you do not often spy,
And it isn’t quite a spider, and it isn’t quite a fly;
It is something like a beetle, and a little like a bee,
But nothing like a woolly grub that climbs upon a tree.
Its name is quite a hard one, but you’ll learn it soon, I hope.
So try:
Tri-
Tri-anti-wonti-
Tri anti wonti gon go lope.
