Read Poem: NEEDLE THE BEETLE, by Dago Schelin

OR Everybody’s got something to rhyme except for me and my donkey
by Dago Schelin

Zoe Needle was a beetle
At the age of 17
Who traveled round the world
In a yellow U-boat

Zoe Needle looked for Jojo
A donkey from Brazil
She found him quite alone:
The fool up on the mountain

The duo searched for meaning
Where life begins and ends
And found it in their music
with some help from their buddies

But in order to play well
They needed to rehearse
To spread their lovely tunes
across the cosmos

The beetle asked the donkey
“Will you play me the guitar?”
And Jojo answered smiling
“Yes, I’m gonna be a success!

While searching for a drummer
They met a handsome toad
Who looked around and said:
“Why don’t we do it in the street?”

A crowd gathered around them
To hear their melody
The toad was scared
But Zoe said: “Relax and let it happen

And now the three invited me
To join and I agreed
We’re singing: “All you need is love
Yes, love is all you require!”

We travel with our message
To show our song and dance
For all that we are saying
Is just give peace an opportunity
