What Annoys Me

Comes the first day of spring and everything is in bloom, while the bugs start invading way too soon, And while living down south were always making hand motions, to ward off the flying insects that give us grievous emotions, Outdoor eating can be quite a task not prepared for having to eat so fast, vagabond fly's arriving in the no fly zone making you wish you were eating indoors at home, Just opening your door a crack at night the twinkly stars look so charming, till the mosquitos come indoors which can be quite alarming, Chasing them around trying to kill them off one by one, then while trying to sleep at night the sole survivor pokes fun, You hear it buzzing round your face as you quickly turn on the light, the mosquito plays hide and seek waiting to get a bloody bite, You want to spray your room to finally kill the flying intruder, but afraid that the powerful fumes will just leave you in a chemical stupor, So you try to kill off all the bugs alternating using a swatter and a bug spray mist, annoying and elusive as they all are while trying not to have a hissy fit. 5-11-17

GOTD! Fav line: "the sole survivor pokes fun" btw, my experience in Alaska — skeeters the size of B-52's and populous as stars in the sky! Happy scratchin' ~ j

Thanks for sharing that about the B-52s in Alaska John; I thought I read somewhere that they don't have any skeeters but I'm taking your word for it! Thanks for informative kind comment and visit!~Che :)
