Sense Sonnet - Tickler

 Misperception

Australian male jewel beetles do

Get supernormal drives to mate.

Humans spied a bunch of them who

Got male crazy to copulate.

Apparently the bunch was sure

They'd found a giant female that,

On the side of a road, gave her

Signal to the guys to come at

A close encounter one and all.

And so the male beetles did climb

On her, answering instinct's call,

Looking forward to a good time.

A discarded beer bottle be

Thought by the hims to be a she!
