Useless Things

Useless Things Parasites are useless By definition Mere takers Not givers Why then Did God create them Mosquito’s are useless An annoying itching blood sucking nuisance So then For what obscure and Godly purpose Do you think God created them Was it because we could take pleasure in killing them Because I do One less Mosquito in the world One less Mosquito to bite you Don’t tell me it’s the Devils work A mere fallen angel could not conceive Of all the living detailed intricacies For blue printing a Mosquito But still it’s a peculiar notion Tapeworms, tics and fleas Bed bugs and sawflies And all their other parasitic families In the great and grand Natures plan of things What possible intention Was behind their invention They’re useless Just an annoyance For what incomprehensible divinities purpose Does a Mosquito Comprehend

My husband, the scientific computer guy who has watched one too many bug documentaries could probably give you a why, at least a good reason, for each one. Not me, as a matter of fact, I have a friend who became seriously ill from a mosquito bite and almost died. Interesting write indeed. Love, Shar

This one made me laugh! I've often wondered the reason for some of those critters! ~ Carrie
