June Bugs

It’s dusk in Texas in May Keeping the June Bugs at bay Citronella works in a way Creepy-crawlies more dense in the day Reading Kafka but only halfway Focus not with it today As the candle attracts other array Wish they’d get out of the way Reflecting on what I have done "Metamorphosis" not accession Possibly carved out more than a pun For others to enjoy modest fun Glad not to have invented the gun Or to have met Attila the Hun Had my short day in the sun Did nothing to force me to run Still have more than a quarter And weary of being a boarder Must get out from the eye of my warder Honestly don’t wish to court her My first stint here close to the border And my stay getting shorter and shorter Too many creatures for sorter There I will find a "Castle" of High Order
