Bugs

 These bugs keep crawling all over my window 
No matter what I do they won't go away 
And I wish this eclipse would finally be over 
And go from the darkness back to the day 

Some kind of animal crawled under my house 
He smells like he's been dead for a week 
My well is empty we really need some rain 
My voice so dry, I can hardly even speak 

I wish my wife would hurry back home 
How long can it take to go to the store? 
She needs to vacuum as soon as she can 
Just look at this dirt all over our floor 

This house is starting to get too small 
The walls feel like they're caving in 
I'm gonna have to gain weight pretty soon 
Cause I'm really starting to look too thin 

There's those bugs again they won't go away 
And now they're crawling all over my head 
In case you haven't figured it out by now 
Just read it again, I'm dead

There’s something I love

There's something I love about this write that I just can't seem to pinpoint. It's really starting to bug me. Anyways, reading it through the first time I thought the speaker was cracked out of his head, then I read the last line and the whole write again :) lol kind of a different style of write, I enjoy something new Peace and cheers, logic

Re: Hi

I couldn't help but read it a few times again after I commented, it's so witty. While reading it the first time, I was thinking of commenting on how I hate bugs in my home, so you can imagine that I had to change what I was going to say…ha, ha. Rosina xena465
