Nola Perez Poet Rhyme

Bugless Winter In Florida

There hasn't been
a fly, wasp, or mosquito 

For quite some time, now,
making it rather vexing 

To diss in rhyme 
about local pests, 

Though, at the very 
least-a, our Cuban anoles 

Are guests in Havana 
until after Easter. 

That's where they went 
to observe Lent.

Daver Austin February 21, 2009 at 9:38 AM Do these lizards eat flys wasps and mosquitos? If so, let's get them back after Lent. I really like your stuff. Did I read this one right? Love, daver. Thanks for reading my Christmas poem. Christmas seems ages away at this point.
