Ode to a bed Bug

Derrick Fernie

Ode to a bed Bug

Oh wee nasty bugger,
You crawl between my covers.
You nibble and bite,
And run around at night.

You drive me crazy,
Scuttling to and fro’
My family jewels
Your private playground.
Go away wee nasty bugger.

We spray and wash,
But still you stay- gosh
Go away wee nasty bugger,
God I’d sooner face a mugger,
Then face such a wee nasty bugger.
