An Ode to Summer...

[TexasStooge]

Bless this house, oh Lord, we cry.
Please keep it cool in mid-July.
Bless the walls where termites 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, ticks and fleas.

Bless the love bugs, two by two,
the gnats and mosquitoes that feed on you.
Millions of creatures that fly or crawl,
in Texas, Lord, you've put them all!!

But this is home, and here we'll stay,
So thank you Lord, for insect spray.

I spent 8 years in San Antonio so, I can completely relate to that one!!! Best poetry I've read in a long time!!!! You should submit that one to Hallmark cards as a novelty card!! I'd buy it!!!

HAHA!! I love it! I can relate to most of that.
