Bugs Bite, So Bite Them Back
Flies annoy and Bzz Bzz Bzz around,
as long as there's garbage they'll always be found
One year as a kid I killed two flies
Placed them in my brother's burger,
devoured, with some shoe string fries
I recall a kid who lived a few blocks away
The family was dirt-poor,
his home needed to be sprayed
Every time I saw him he was insanely scratching his head
His hair was greasy and wild,
fingertips looked bloody red
I later found out that he was carrying lice
Filthy family they were,
house was inundated with mice
I was checked to make sure I didn't have those buggers
Parents wanted me to stay away,
saw him years later wearing tight ass nut-huggers
I heard fleas are quite resilient & strong
Luckily I had no encounter with them,
I would watch cartoons all daylong
Tex Avery's Flea Circus from 1958
I felt bad for the little flea clown,
he wanted Fifi to become his mate
Roaches are downright gross
Watch them scurry around,
they love the taste of fructose
Nasty motherfuckers will survive forever
Long after humans are extinct,
I'll be long gone, so whatever
Mosquito's suck and create a bite
Itchy skin for days,
morning, noon & night
Each year their always in the media
What new virus are they carrying,
baloney, just like Wikipedia
As this poem comes to a close
Be aware what's under your nose
All these bugs are fucking pests
