 Bug-off poem #1
Do I see you pout? Do I see you cry?
Do you dance about? I’m telling you why
The bad bed bugs have come into town.
Have you made a list? It’s surely not mice
Cannot be fleas, mosquitoes or lice
The bad bed bugs have come into town
They’ll bite you when you’re sleeping
They’ll hide when you’re awake
They visit homes of rich or poor
So you all had better quake
It’ll cost you a mint to get them to go
Friends will shun you, and your house a no-no,
The bad bed bugs have come into town.Â
