Humbeatles

So why are Humbugs
Called humbugs
Who thought up this word?
As they do not quite hum
Or look like bugs
Humbugs are frankly absurd
Or it's suggested origins in Norse
Hum(ph) Norse for night
Bogey meaning apparition
HumphBogey
Reminds me of an actor
Of the Hollywood tradition
Not a chewy sweet
With the Humbug factor
A humming bug however
I would not be keen to eat
Humbug i prefer as nonsense
And i couldn't eat that
It all makes as much sense
As a dinosaur in a hat
Besides
I call bugs, beetles
So why not call them Humbeetles
Or BeetlesHum
Or Hmmm The Beetles
I could be onto something there!
What!?
Already done?
Baaa humbug!
