various flies - Montezuma, Costa Rica


Flies! They poop on pies
They thrive in sties
They contaminate your lips while you're at rest
They dab the dung with spongy tongues
And pester your preserves with maggot nests.

Filth! Decay and spilth!
Roach and bedbug's tilth!
Fleas that suckyour juices in the night!
Maniples of weevils
The Moth and her coevals
Mosquitoes with their itchy-killy bites.

That gang is meat for fangs
Of allies prowling in and out of sight
The entire pack are treats and snacks
For spiders, giving bugs a deadly fright

Fear not when a spider appears
You may be tempted by the pesticide
But remember who is eating you
And let the spiders be. They’re on your side.
