Bugs

Don't leave the box
to the Pop Tarts open,

my Aunt Jessie said:
We'll get a bunch of bugs
crawling all over the  icing
then will have to call
the exterminator man;

the house will smell 
of fumes for hours


Then, maybe, the ants
will just march
to the other pantry

and invade
the gravy
and Ovaltine

Oh, I love this. The kind of down to earth poetry I really enjoy.

That is why it's nice to be up North, not a lot of crawling insects. Have a great day.
