Insect Inspection

Some disgusting and cute, Many creepy and mute, Some exotic and vain, Mainly local and plain, Some revolt, some amaze, Most pest, bother and chase, Some crawl, slither and jump, Buzz, bite, scavenge and vamp, Some work hard days and nights, Others - pure parasites, Gutsy settle indoors To the horror of yours, Bold get under your skin, After where they have been, Shameless species would thrive In depth of afterlife, There’s no equal rival To their harsh survival, They lodge in and about And one can’t do without.

A great entry for the contest Margarita. “Gutsy settle indoors To the horror of yours,” so true! Loved those lines. Those tiny creatures can turn our lives upside down with a surprise invasion. But they are the garbage collectors we can’t live without. Excellent! I hope this scores high in the contest. Blessings xxoo

Thank you Joe, Now after reading it and not writing I can see how it resonates :), and yet that wasn’t my intention. It must be the diversity aspect that can be applied to any species collectively:) M.

Hmmm, I’ve slept on this one Deb, and I’m sticking with my original observation, I’m a man I know all our habits, our only saving grace is women can’t do without us :)
