Bedbugs

Crack the light and spread the bugs as bugs go zig and zagging. Bold black bugs to cause us fear. Our tongues afraid of dragging. Chase them down to pinch their body and place them in a cup. Save them all for pest control to prove their count is up. Wait for them within your bed and pray your bites are few. Then wake up to your bloody sheets when itching's all you do. Have them spray when you go mad and know they're in the wall. Then find your faith in God above or lose your mind to all.

I think it's global warming that's causing them to spread. I remember my grandmother had a saying at bedtime. She said "Sleep tight, don't let the bedbugs bite". Cute back then. LOL
