Bug Spray
A person who's slathered in spray
To keep flying insects at bay
May still be surprised
If one bug, though despised,
Bites or stings after finding a way.
For although they're put off by the smell
Which, when tested, appears to repel
One brave flyer just might
Dive in quick for a bite,
One itch gone as the other does swell.
