Red ones,
White ones.
Even ones that nip ones.
Even annoying ones with wings.
Running wild through the fields.
Partying in the garden.
Or dancing on air.
In swarms they come.
Avoiding wrath of beaks of birds.
Or heavy feet.
Insects in miniature.
Lifting strength of Hercules.
It has been said in fantasy.
A line of white upon the floor.
Will keep these creatures away from the door.
All in folklore.
If in your kitchen them you find.
A cruelty of water boiling.
The only way to them dispatch.
These creatures they are clever.
Ingenious in fact.
Nature's survivors.
