"Globalization"
from the Hamptons to the Pocanos
I speed along in my maintanance truck
with the always lively bumpedy-bump
of these dogdamn floor-washing machines
nowadays they're for counterbalance
because the cops will ESCORT a bedbug abator
and it's funny as hell that I got the idea
from a kid's game purchased at a yard sale
so just as I did the game of life I
threw those pesky instructions away
ha-ha-ha finally found a use for that silicon wafer plant
where they're quite adept at making things cold
yeah, the cold is what ya need to stop 'em
quite the hardy lil' critter, they...
well, after a mere four days from my impromptu visit
to the silicon wafer plant chief's home
and quite the idea hawk I !
see me just SWOOP right in with the solution
and that's how I learned how the fortunes are made
Ohh-ho-hoah! I went to the butcher
and I don't need to tell you that butchers don't trust too easily
bloody meat! bloody meat!
...and ya got yourself a portable bedbug matrix...
...yes! I can have a crew there by two!
you build a business up using Dr. Seus rhyme
and yes, Masterchief, another supercooled rod!
you see anymore an' it'll be free o' charge!
I stay in the hotels just like anyone else does
that service range just keeps on expanding
nationwide is not unrealistic
and with a little practice you can chill not kill
vaccuum 'em up on the lowest setting
and they wake right back up on the ride to the next hotel
globalization ya think so, eh?
these lil' bugger's 'r dug in, entrenched
a great most on this Earth simply ignore them
but I'm working hard to change all that
in their land of opportunity and fat
I am shepard of the grazing parasites
...and how I love to smile at friendly faces
everyone is always so f-r-i-e-n-d-l-y-like, it's weird
when you cryro-steam their clothes for them
and tell them it could happen to anyone...
perhaps I'll publish my own travel guide
advise 'em where them bedbugs ain't...heh, heh
what kind of fools are these
to not know a parastie when the see it?

Poetry: Bedbugs
by T.C Leonard
"Losing Sleep"
Coming to a roach motel
In your neighborhood
Is a tiny, biting devil
Whose motive isn't good
They attack
by Dominic D.
After a day
i won't call my best
I look forward
to a good night of rest
I lay my head down
on a pillow so clean
by Moeze Lalji
Bedbugs
Were crying
The man was fat
And thick
Like a can of tin
Squashed they
Felt
But found his mother
A thin lady
Who did not mind
"Goodnight"
"nite mom...please turn out the light."
