Only Ten Shopping Days 'til the Locusts

Only ten shopping days ‘til the locusts arrive What on earth should I buy them I’ve scoured the stores, and what’s more Amazon, Tik-Tok and E-bay But ‘gifts for locusts’ brings up very few items so I’m conducting a mini-plebiscitum Asking cockroaches, spiders and scorpions if I should text ‘em or a love poem write ‘em

When they swarm in, then you’ll know just the right gift. As they snap, crackle, and rub their legs together to play Vivaldi.
