In my feeble mind lurk things that I am glad stay there, at times,  and not present their selves in reality!  Why such a creature like an Ortz Bug would inhabit my mind and come to the forefront is beyond me. It came out and, once seen (?) it is now a part of my vocabulary and without any hesitancy, here it is———–

 

 

Ortz Bug       2015-74

 

The tiny Ortz bug is a thing of beauty,

 

It runs, it flies, it swims, – its pretty.

 

It’s colored red, yellow, and green too,

 

It even has a head that’s light, light blue!

 

Its 23 feet make it go as fast as it can go,

 

But in a race, it won’t beat a centipede tho.

 

Its huge big wings are meant for flying,

 

But, a jet plane its not – no lying!

 

It even has paddles, for pushing in the water,

 

But, if you expect fast, don’t bother

 

So as you can see, it is a weird, weird bug,

 

I ought to know, there’s one in my jug..
