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.

Oh, Nola, if only the "bugless winter" could last here in Florida. Love the last four lines! Havana can keep them. Thanks for sharing, Carolyn

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.
