Dill: Lightning bug, lightning bug, What are you thinking? Fly into my open hand, And do some fancy blinking! Dill: Glowing little firefly, Floating through the night. Come and fill my open hand, with your uncanny light! Dill: You're taillight flickers off and on, As you flit about the lawn. Looking for a place to land? Park it in my open hand. Dill: None of my firefly calls are working. Dill: Maybe if I said please. Alice: Dill! Alice: You have to chase them. It's the rule! Dill: I said the magic word!

A real gentleman you are, Dil, with luminescent insects.

Dill has the magic! Alice is too impatient (as are many four-year olds)….

Dill is so sweet – and pretty smart to remember all those rhymes. Please is a good magic word.

The second rhyme is my favorite. Dill is a gentle soul. Are we sure he’s not adopted? He’s the total opposite of his brothers….

Yay for Dill – gentleness rewarded!
There used to be lightning bugs in St. Petersburg, FL, in the 40’s and maybe the 50’s. But I haven’t seen one here in years. Also meadowlarks. :- (

Shine little glowworm, glimmer. Shine little glowworm, glimmer. Another word for Fire Fly.

My daughter doesn’t need the rhyme, she’ll raise her hand up near one and they land on it… I don’t recall them ever doing that for me.
