Poem by Rick Walton

There are bugs in your carpet
and bugs in your hair.
There are millions
and billions of bugs everywhere.
They will eat up your trees,
They will dig up your lawn.
You can squash all you can,
but they'll never be gone.
They will dive in your food.
They will hide in your bed.
You will never get rid of your bugs.
So instead--
Ask them kindly not to bite.
Do not wash them from your hair.
Let them know you'll treat them right.
Learn to love them.
Show you care.
You might as well--
They're everywhere.
