Just Mosquitos and Squirrels

“Nature Lover” my byline,
Hell, I even like girls
But where I draw the line
Is mosquitos and squirrels.

Love how bug zapper spark fries,
Pellet gun is so nice,
Squirrel’s carcass on ice,
Tiny smoke clouds from trap rise.

With the clean sent of ozone
Starting off each new morn,
Longer lasting than ****,
Hanging bushy tail tombstone

That now decorates plum tree.
This is really no vice,
Just some friendly advice,
That for me is eye candy.

Maybe you think me shallow,
This world diamonds and pearls?
Sure as hell is below,
There’s mosquitos and squirrels.
