Mice and Bugs

Under the Rugs

There are mice and bugs under the rugs

My hubby says, don't worry about them, let's have some hugs

It would be better to take drugs

This creeps me out, why oh why can we not have a cat

Our cat Rose, let those mice and bugs know where it was at

She would let them know with a bat, spat or a tat

they weren't in the house for long, not even the bat

Hubby says, it will not be long now, you know they come in when it gets cold out

Can you fix how they get in? I want to shout!

I am close to calling an exterminator, do I have that kind of clout?

he blames me and my allergy and lets me know

we don't need an exterminator as he has it on the down low

I just don't want to see another mouse struggling to get free

the asian beetles, now that's a different story for me

they bite and they smell,

let's give them hell

as they invade the house and when I think they are all gone

another is there to let me know I am wrong!

I hate allergies, as even with medication for them it doesn't solve the problem for me you see!
