Pay attention young larvae, the Water Beetle said
Because nymphs that don't listen, will all end up dead
There is danger in the water and danger overhead
Watch out for the Newt and the mighty Axolotl
There is one Hellbender left, but he's the last of that model
Never the less, stay clear of his den by the old sunken bottle
There will be bluegill, red bellies, and Killifish galore
Traveling in packs like shoppers through a store
Looking for young dragonflies that they can make no more
If you make it through this gauntlet and the molting comes upon you
Your thoughts will turn towards heaven, and wings will spread out true
But the danger is not over; its waiting in the blue
Look now above the water, observe the mastery of flight
So beautiful but deadly, your enemy the Kite
Will taunt you to come play with him, but you will lose that fight
And if your wise and make it, back to waters clear
Be careful of the jumping fish, it is the Bass that you must fear
And over by the Lily pads the Bullfrogs always near
Oh, and be careful of the Water beetle, he loves to shop this store
With those words he grabbed a dragon, and made the nymph no more
