BUGS

Palmettos on the kitchen floor
Spiders in the sink
Lizards chasing bugs all night
I can’t relax, can’t think.

I need an exterminator 
He’ll know just what to do
Get rid of the mosquitos
And ….  the red ants in my shoes.

Most are psychic or perceptive 
They know when you fall asleep
They crawl around , they move about
They slither and they creep.

Up from the drain or toilet bowl
Underneath your trash can lid
They find their way into your house
Some hide behind your fridge.

Break out the sprays, and lotions
There’s one climbing up the wall
Looks like a stinking cockroach
The biggest one of all. 

A massive infestation
Lord knows…. I need some help
This guy was recommended
He has good reviews on YELP. 

Bug free for nearly three months now
Not a creature to be found
No lizards , ants or palmettos
Not even one ….. around.
