Name a vermin
That we don’t have
And I’ll name an injury
For which there is no salve.
Mosquitoes, we have them
Flies we got them too,
Centipedes and millipedes
More than a few.
Some strange insects
Crawling on the floor
And other peculiar ones
We have never seen before.
Walking on the street
Insects battling the eyes,
Bites on the feet
Nothing but sand flies.
On light skin people
The evidence really shows
And trying to kill them
Causes us blows.
A mosquito on the leg
You will hear a slap,
You will feel the pain
But the nuisance is back.
Slap after slap
As you aim your attack,
Better to get a zapper
And have it zapped.
We’re glad for the rain
But with it comes the pest,
One cause is the bush
Though we try our best.
The grass gets tall
The evidence of neglect,
Several property owners
Showing gross disrespect.
It doesn’t bother them
They live elsewhere,
The vermin bother us
But they don’t care.
They disregard the threats
The Government sends,
They couldn’t care less
Who they offend.
In the meantime
We continue to suffer
As the vermin become
An incessant bother.
I know they say
Complaining gets us nowhere,
I know it’s true
It’s happening right here.
In Callenders Gardens
There is a lot of bush,
I wish the property owners
Would clean it in a rush.
There’s another wish
It is for the SSA,
Please come more frequently
To take our garbage away.
I mentioned Callenders
But there are others too,
Save us from these vermin
There’s much you can do.
