Little Pests

Tis the season for frightful bugs, found one in my bed, even in my rug, they seem to turn up everywhere, even in the breath mint in my mouth, even heard one in the rhythm of my clock, the other day went walking only to discover one in my sock, then I tried to kill it, but they're hard as a rock, one time one was on my plate, and I almost ate it thinking it was a grape, Now listen up, you little blood sucking pests, I will hunt you down till I get no rest! Its bad enough that its allergy season, we don't want any of your diseases! Might use some bloodhounds to help track them down, if only we could annihilate them, all throughout the town, then they'd finally be extinct, and people and dogs everywhere would no longer be forlorn and frown, but if I need professional help guess I'll call an exterminator, and if that doesn't work, I'll get Arnold the terminator!

Love the flow of this read and thanks for the chuckle today!...I'm a horsewoman so I'm well acquainted with the bugs...hate them too, but at least in MI. they are only with us for a season!

Thats what I miss about living up north, not as many bugs because of the colder climate; glad you liked my poem Chris!:) Beautiful horse in your pic btw!
