Gross Monstrosity

Gross insect! O Monstrosity! Of putrid death beguiling me. Be gone! O blemished devil’s bat! You vex me perched upon my lap. Such ugly gait and sticky bait, Of bile produced from concentrate; Detestable untouchable Beyond my intellectual conception That your existence has some meaningful intention. With filthy wings you take to sky, And leave your stain upon my thigh; Twas it winged gods on high, That made something so awful fly? O but menace, do your worst! Quite cunning in your fur so coarse. I hate you, Ai! My pecan pie! Ill eyes behold your newest sty; Infection of a dear confection, Destroyer of my grand perfection! O how I loathe proximity To this grotesque Monstrosity!
