I found a little beetle; so that Beetle was his name, And I called him Alexander and he answered just the same. I put him in a match-box, and I kept him all the day ... And Nanny let my beetle out - Yes, Nanny let my beetle out - She went and let my beetle out - And Beetle ran away. She said she didnt mean it, and I never said she did, She said she wanted matches and she just took off the lid, She said that she was sorry, but its difficult to catch An excited sort of beetle youve mistaken for a match. She said that she was sorry, and I really mustnt mind, As theres lots and lots of beetles which shes certain we could find, If we looked about the garden for the holes where beetles hid - And wed get another match-box and write BEETLE on the lid. We went to all the places which a beetle might be near, And we made the sort of noises which a beetle likes to hear, And I saw a kind of something, and I gave a sort of shout: A beetle-house and Alexander Beetle coming out! It was Alexander Beetle Im as certain as can be, And he had a sort of look as if he thought it must be Me, And he had a sort of look as if he thought he ought to say: Im very very sorry that I tried to run away. And Nannys very sorry too for you-know-what-she-did, And shes writing ALEXANDER very blackly on the lid, So Nan and Me are friends, because its difficult to catch An excited Alexander youve mistaken for a match.
