Not Like the Rest

Ponder the pest
It's not like the rest:
  Can't stick out its chest
  Doesn't have a nest
  Your crops it infests
  Devours and ingests
  Acts rather stressed
  Promotes such unrest...
    It's not a good guest
    It flunks every test
    It's certainly not blessed
    its presence you detest
    It exists to molest
    It's often hard-pressed
    It's best when obsessed
    Yet may I suggest
    Somewhat in jest
    At its progenitor's behest
      ~ With your head it has messed.

Hey, Darlene: Wonderful to hear from you. "They (insects) will bug us no end" is such a delightful play-on-words. Put it in one of your poems!! :) gw
