Creepy Crawlies

I lay in bed and what do I see
A spider walking right above me
It is a huge and fleshy one
In the morning it would be gone

I see more creepy crawlies again
They are really becoming a pain
Wood lice are walking along the path
When I have seen them I need a bath

I can’t stand insects of any kind
They nearly send me out of my mind
I know they exist and they are there
But I don’t want them anywhere

In the garden it’s full of ants
I really don’t want them in my pants
Centipedes well what can I say
Too many legs so keep them away

Live and let live I know it’s true
I don’t mind whatever they do
But please don’t let them come near me
I can’t stand creepy crawlies you see

Most people have an aversion to these bugs well except maybe some boys, men. Even though these have a place in the eco system. You have done a very nice Rhyme on the topic. Keep writing.

These long and short legged friends we call spiders are a joy to have in our homes, as they keep the unwanted bug count down. I dare say they are as much afraid of us as we are of them, and look at the size of us >> James
