Here you will find the Poem The Christmas Beetle of poet Leon Gellert
When Christmas comes the Christmas heat'll bring once more the Christmas Beetle The first inflammatory breeze'll set him buzzing like a diesel. Hear him open up his throttle as he hums above the wattle! Hear him zoom, and snarl and rattle Like a fighter plane in battle! Watch him dive to sink and settle- Folding up his wings of metal - Cutting off the engines sound as quietly as he comes to ground. Then watch some sparrows, frail and lowly, Strike him swiftly, rend him wholly.
