愚人笑话|An Ode to Summer...

Bless this house, oh Lord, we cry.

Please keep it cool in mid-July.

Bless the walls where termites^{1 dine,}

while ants and roaches march in time.

Bless our yard where spiders pass

fire ant castles in the grass.

Bless the garage, a home to please

carpenter beetles^{2, ticks and fleas3.}

Bless the love bugs^{4, two by two,}

the gnats^{5 and mosquitoes that feed on you.}

Millions of creatures that fly or crawl,

in Texas, Lord, youve put them all!!

But this is home, and here well stay,

So thank you Lord, for insect spray.
