Jack This is a creative, gross and eerie write. It's funny in a truthful way. Thanks for the sweet comment on my Life's Bubble poem.

Hey, you talk about a real nuisance for travelers. Since the "No bag on bed" recommendation and the "Leave your luggage in the bath" note...makes a traveler think about going bagless...lol. "BBs" are a worldwide issue the news boasts. CR

I guess we should all be checking the beds in hotels, Jack. At home I have a water bed so no chance of bedbugs! There does seem to be widespread concern about the BBs in the U.S. as well. Great poem! Love, Carolyn

I hate those buggers! They are very hard to get rid of and when you do have them they are unpleasant! Wonderfully done Jack, Impressive work!!
