This is what makes it hard for the children to sleep tonight! Their beds have bugs. Bed bug bugged bed so it goes, even the sheep count does not work when the bed has bugs. Cimex lectularius why do you bug us? Why can't you take a flight with your cousin the bat bug? Your blood is warm and succulent and I have acrophobia, In this Joyous Season, can I give you a hug? Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all. Florida Fan
We just finished celebrating my daughters birthday (winters solstice) it was a god time for all. However it wasn't that way some 40 years ago. As we put Heidi to bed in her crib we told her to "sleep tight and don't let the bed bugs bite"
Heidi immediately jumped into our arms screaming," Bugs in bed, bugs in bed, Get me out of here now"
Despite our bad parenting Heidi became a talented, strong, independent individual,

ReplyDeleteDashing through the sheets
ReplyDeleteon six segmented feet
O'er the pillows they go
sucking blood all the way
lap lap lap
Pointed beak goes down
after you turn off the lights
oh what fun it is to suck
blood from a host tonight
Oh, bed bugs suck
bed bugs suck
bed bugs suck your blood
Just be glad
they don't spread disease
or any nasty crud!
