…a wee bit of fun for a change of pace

DANG—
pesky mosquitoes in the air
(blood thirsty little creatures)
ants at the table
running aimless over
checkerboard squares
DARN—
flick the switch
roaches scramble from the light
darkness descends
SPLAT—
crunch-crunch
no more
teenie, tiny footprints
running across the floor at night
blinking lights
at the roach motel
there is a bug party going on
RAID—
where art thou
with your sibilant whisper
to spread relief
PSST—
millipedes
centipedes
do silver fishes fly
invisible gnats badger
horseflies heh-hawing around
texan wolf spiders swing
from silken strings
corner-to-corner
termites busily
sawing wood
invasion of the pantry moths
pill bugs in the prozac
head lice looking for hair
look out over there
creepy
crawly
creatures
in the house!

You've enumerated all of the reasons why I never kill a spider.  Joyce
