Bones starts waking up in the morning
with bites on his body.  

It makes him uncomfortable,
and very itchy.  

He starts developing scabs
where he’s scratched himself.  

It’s a problem,
because he can’t afford
to make himself look
unattractive to clients.  

Mom’s not sure where they came from,
but they’ve got themselves a case of bed bugs.  

After a while Bones gets used to it,
and stops scratching.

Rub him all over with apple cider vinegar

Bobby and he'll be like a new dog.

My mother said during the depresion  someone made a lot of money (until the public caught on) with an ad that claimed
a sure-fire way to kill bedbugs. When people sent in the money they recieved two small blocks of wood with instuctions to place the bedbug on block one and hit it with block two. They couldn't be  prosecuted because it did, indeed, kill bedbugs, just as advertised.

Bedbugs are found every where no doubt. Now  we have many treatment against it. The easier one is the better. The treatment pack given by deadbedbugs.com is effective and easy to apply. Have just applied in my house.

Thanks Tripton,

For commenting on my poem.  I feel honered that this is your first post here, and it's on my humble poem.

Bedbugs seem to come in waves over long periods of time.  At one time they seemed to disappear in North America, but I understand they are now back.

Good luck ridding your house of them.  They make life miserable.
