Poem of the Week

    Mosquitoes, Mosquitoes!

    Mosquitoes, Mosquitoes,
    stop torturing me,
    why can’t you behave
    more considerately,
    you’ve bitten me practically
    down to the bone,
    mosquitoes, mosquitoes,
    please leave me alone!

    Mosquitoes, mosquitoes,
    you’re hard to ignore,
    I itch and I scratch,
    I can’t stand anymore,
    you’ve bitten my bottom,
    you’ve bitten my top,
    mosquitoes, mosquitoes,
    I’m begging you stop!

    Mosquitoes, mosquitoes,
    I honestly feel
    it’s time that you went
    somewhere else for a meal,
    you’ve bitten me places
    I can’t even see,
    mosquitoes, mosquitoes,
    stop torturing me!

Poem of the Week

A Bug Sat in a Silver Flower
 

A bug sat in a silver flower
Thinking silver thoughts.
A bigger bug out for a walk
Climbed up that silver flower stalk
And snapped the small bug down his jaws
Without a pause
Without a care
For all the bug’s small silver thoughts.
It isn’t right
It isn’t fair
That big bug ate that little bug
Because that little bug was there.

He also ate his underwear.

Poem of the Week

My Brother’s Bug

My brother’s bug was green and plump,
it did not run, it could not jump,
it had no fur for it to shed,
it slept all night beneath his bed.

My brother’s bug had dainty feet,
it did not need a lot to eat,
it did not need a lot to drink
it did not scream, it did not stink.

It always tried to be polite,
it did not scratch, it did not bite,
the only time it soiled the rug,
was when I squashed my brother’s bug.
