The Home of Sand and Lovebugs
The Home of Sand and Lovebugs
By Elton Camp
Florida represents itself as a retiree’s paradise
Plenty of things, you will find, aren’t so nice
If you buy a house located on shifting sand
Don’t be shocked if it doesn’t long stand
Hurricanes, mosquitoes, gators are no surprise
See lovebugs & you’ll hardly believe your eyes
They come in swarms both spring and fall
You’ll wish you’d never moved there at all
To stay mated even in flight is what they do
So if you encounter one, there will be two
Windshield you quickly can’t see through
Stop & clean them off is all you can do
Radiator they will clog and car then overheat
As noxious pests, they are very hard to beat
If you pick Florida for your retirement place
A host of problems you will have to face
Alabama’s a far better place for you to be
Especially in the north, up near Tennessee
