under my bed under invasion! invaded by piles of migrating balls! dust rolls around gathered in piles piles tied in bundles some are like pillows pillars of feathers pillows that billow billowing towers blooming like flowers flowers I've gotten flowers of cotton curled cotton swirls cotton-tail squirrels squirrels in soft slippers squirrels having litters quicker to litter litters are wooly wool climbs the stairs wool everywhere bagfuls inhabit spinning more rabbits maintaining their habits crocheting more rabbits angora type rabbits contagious civilians into the millions villain dust devils spinning more fellows devils in herds please spread the word herds I can't stop bunnies that hop stop them producing don't mind the cursing! searching the room for my broom cursing the doom of a lint baby boom copulation problem making populating propagating weed weeds and seeds, please take your leave squirrels and rabbits hop hop hop it's in the halls, like lint from sheep I'm steeped in lint and I can't keep things clean! When sheep need sleep, they creep back under my bed! _____________________________________________________
