'Deer Mr. BugMan  'Deer Mr. BugMan, where have you been? I called you long ago. And asked you to come visit me and tell these bugs where to go But it's been well over a year and still no sign of you If you don't come and save me, there's no telling what I'll do Now, balladeer, I understand that you enjoy these roaches But you can rest assured as soon as one of them approaches I'm gonna turn my tail and run to grab the nearest shoe He'll never know what hit him, nope he wouldn't have a clue Now, usually I'm not the type to let an insect bug me But those big suckers fly so fast, and they're so stinkin' ugly They hold meetings in the bathroom in the middle of the night And if I happen in on them they're ready for a fight So, come be my Sir Galahad I'll be your maiden fair Rescue me from roaches, sir, I'll follow you anywhere Rest assured your job will always be secure with me If you'll just come to Phoenix, 'deer, and promptly set me free Come on now, I'm waiting and they're rounding up the troops They've gathered in the living room - divided into groups I think they know you're coming and the old ones tell a story Of the brave exterminator and his rise to fame and glory Tales of mass roach killings are told both far and near Causing them to shiver - filling tiny hearts with fear So hurry, sir I'm getting scared - there's evil in their eyes You wouldn't want to have a great big roach be my demise! ~vlraynes "...until you have read the verse on his heart, you have not truly met the poet. ~vlraynes [This message has been edited by Sunshine (06-27-2003 01:54 PM).] |

Oh how well I remember the critters of the desert. It's why I had to leave, AZ just wasn't big enough for me and all them bugs. |

Now THIS is the scariest poem I've ever read! ---but I can't believe you actually had me laughing over something so overwhelmingly heebeegeeable as a roach infestation. Amazing! hehe haha ooo ooo eeek eeek aw aw ! Deer will ride in to save the day. I know he will. He would never leave a damsel in distress! P.S. Those roaches can't get to me through my monitor----can they?!? Just in case, I'm going to check out another poem and disconnect from this one! hehe EA [This message has been edited by Earth Angel (10-15-2002 09:32 PM).] |

WHen you're alone and there are bugs you can phone The only man who cares.. BUGMAN!! When critters scurry there is no need to worry Call and I'll be there.. BUGMAN!! Just one small kiss from your sweet lips Propels me into action One small hug and those poor bugs Will all wind up in traction.. How can you lose? So, baby, I'll see you there. We'll catch those bugs while they're sleeping.. They'll be unaware.... of the BUGMAN!!! Watch how they fall.. I'm the BUGMAN!! I'll get them all... Call your BUGMAN!! I am here waiting for you!!  |
