Bedbugs? Hate ’em.
Skeeters, Ticks.
Same with Roaches,
Cave Crick-ets

Take your Termites,
Fleas & Ants.
Send ’em packin’ —
Also Gnats.

Moths & Beetles,
Spiders, Wasps?
Get them out
At any cost.

Leave the Worms
& Honey Bees,
Ladybugs,
& Centipedes.

They don’t bug me.
(Don’t know why …)
By the way,
Keep Butterflies.
