…But If They Do Bite You, Hit ‘Em With a Shoe
When times are most dire,
at least one saving grace is ours
if we can muster the strength
to claim it:
that bad politicians
facing next elections
share a similar weakness
with bed bugs.
While always best
not to get bitten,
they do become much,
much easier
to crush
when engorged on our blood.

an apt comparison, indeed!
Here’s hoping, Mr. Cimex!
Love the title…not many folk remember that part of ‘sleep tight’ so grab me right away.
Agree with Leah and Shaun!
Haha, it was actually you who told me that line on my first poem this year. I knew right away that I wanted to use it for my last poem, bookending the month!
Lol, I forgot! Glad to be apart of a wonderful bookending. Perfect!
Yes! There’s always hope. Thanks for making my day, P.C. Learned much from your work and have so much more to learn. Appreciate your reading of my work with insightful comments. May you be well until we continue the conversation
Great way to round out this month’s collection of incredibly well-crafted, thought-provoking, and dialogue-inspiring poems! Very well done.
