Multi-Legs Bug Me

Simple bugs that can fly through the air Like a bee, ladybug- they don't scare. Multi-legs frighten me From all spiders, I flee Centipedes make me jump on a chair! Many legs that can race cross the floor Bring a fear that I cannot ignore. When they fast run away This sure ruins my day- They can hide to alarm me once more! Sandra M. Haight

Charming Limericks, Sandra, they will rank high - enjoyed them muchly! I lived in St Croix once and we had poisonous centipedes, (the Amazonian Giant Centipede), that were over a foot long and as big around as a broomstick ... I hated them, lol. Thankfully I never got bitten, for while they can't kill a human, the bite is excruciating and causes flu-like symptoms. They are carnivores and eat frogs, snakes, mice, lizards, birds, and even bats. Nice write.

Thank you very much for your visit and positive comment on my Limericks, Greg! OMG- I have seen centipedes that large on documentaries, but never close up and personal! Anyway, thanks for stopping by! Sending blessings and hugs, Sandra <3 ;)
