I was sitting on the porch,
all alone on the Fourth of July.
I'm sure gonna tell ya,
'cause I can't tell a lie,
I had a bug land right in my beer.
I said, "Well, you just go ahead, Little Bug,
and have yourself some cheer.
Help yourself. I really don't mind."
He said to me, "Ma'am, you're awfully kind.
See, a bug like me don't get treated this way.
Folks usually try to swat me away."
"But I don't mind. Go ahead, Little Bug,
and have yourself some cheer."
The bug said, "A toast to you, my friend.
You're really quite a dear.
I won't tell your friends.
I'll tell 'em all a lie.
Let's party tonight.
It's the Fourth of July.
Just fill me a cap when you give a twist.
We'll get down tonight
and do somethin' like this."
The Little Bug started twirling right in the air.
I started dancin' and flippin' my hair.
"Cheers to you, Little Bug.
Thanks for droppin' by.
I'm not gonna tell my friends.
Gonna have to tell em' a lie,
'cause how would that look--
a lady like me partying with a bug like you
here on the Fourth of July?"
The Little Bug said, "I had a mighty fine time.
Next year, let's drink some wine!"
And he buzzed away...

Author Notes
This was posted last year 4th of July, it's a 1st for me to re-post old material. I thought it was fitting for the time of year and was thinking about a sequel to follow. (possibly)
* I meant to say "cap" not cup, give it a twist, of the cap of a bottle of beer for the bug to drink, a cup is to damn big, he'll drown.
You really got to try and sing this to a country beat as you go, you'll get it. It picks up a little speed you can tell where.
I'm not much of a songwriter, and This silly thought came in my head with a bug in the beer. I said to myself, "Hey that sounds like a country song" lol, I just went with it for laughs. Happy 4th. Cheers. Share your beer with a bug.
*Special thanks to Sis Cat for some SPAG edit, and a fine job he did.
