High-pitched banshee whines
In the middle of night
Mosquitos, annoying
Bug-a-boos, no-see-ums
Picked on us larger humans
Sucked out our blood
Itchy stings and bites
Their calling cards
That’s enough, already
Pick on somebody your own size!

Deep Southern
Monsters crept
Palmetto bugs
Resembled
Gigantic roaches
Large stink bugs
With airfoils on
Their, back legs
Flew further, to be
Even more annoying
Fire ants in giant
Ant hills, bit with
Ferociousness of
The devil himself
Never ever went away
The topper of them all
Was the mole cricket
Weird, burrowing insect
With mole-like front end
Cricket-like back end
A face, not even
A mother could love

There were lots of cattle on the farm where I grew up. And, in the pasture were lots of cow patties. My brothers, sister, and myself had plenty of dung beetles to watch for entertainment. There weren’t any smart phones–or electronic devices to entertain us in those days. A post from two years ago.
Rolling, rolling, rolling
Keep them dung balls rolling
Dung balls
Keep on growing
They may be
Full to overflowing
Roll, roll, roll ’em
You know
You can’t
Control them
Stay strong
Roll, roll, roll, them
Dung balls
All day long
Head ’em up
Move ’em out
Knowing there are
Larvae inside
In which my
Scatterbrained mind
Is freed from most constraints
Yesterday, it was
Paws, claws, clenched jaws
At the veterinarian’s
Today, annoying, biting
Vampire horse flies
Attempted to feast
On my blood
Swatting scared
My poor dog
It took quite a bit
Of reassurance
To calm her down
I suppose yelling
Like an idiot
At horse flies
Was not necessary
Rolling, rolling, rolling
Keep them dung balls rolling
Dung balls
Keep on growing
They may be
Full to overflowing
Roll, roll, roll, ’em
You know
You can’t
Control them
Stay strong
Roll, roll, roll, them
Dung balls
All day long
Buzzing, biting
Stinging, bloodsuckers
With annoying whines
Fly about my head
And ears
Bug-a-boos
Gnats and
What-gnats
No-see-ums
The hotter
It gets–the worse
They are
I hate them all!
