Uninvited Guest

While resting in the Florida room A bug stopped by to puzzle me Uninvited, nasty and un-groomed My property is hermetically sealed Germs and dirt are the enemy Insects are strictly forbidden This invasion makes me twitch I sprits it with a water device, (Not to kill) That would be unkind It struggled on the floor, a small black form Apparently uncomfortable with the water cure Contorted with six legs writhing in circles Antennae pushing off the liquid spray Another creature with two additional legs Came up from God knows where Killed the insect instantly, dragged it off as planned I have always had respect for insects Their abilities to survive is astonishing Perhaps if it had wings and could fly The bug might survive Trespass would have been the only crime Sooner or later it would end up in some web I guess Wings fit nicely there for such pest Eight legged creatures seem to have a better edge Over ones with only six and the uninvited guest
