Already Here

Mother Nature's such a joker- Everywhere I've lived, or been Many legged creatures lurking And I have never been their friend. My smile will freeze and people think That I'm unfriendly or affronted It's just I think those buzzing insects It must be me, that they're hunting. Many outings have had bad ends When flying hornets feel free to pass On all sides of my spineless body And even drink from my own glass. A good nights sleep is oft aborted When upon the mattress waits A little cockroach, whispers stirring I feel as if I'm just the bait. I never paid much heed to spiders Till one bit me; it was not funny Off to the doctor I was forced The price was high, in pain and money. When people say, dont be so silly I just let their words go by There's scorpions, ticks, and centipedes And don't forget, the exotic blow-fly. I wish that all those bugs would go Leave the ground here, and the air: There's been some big mistake I know My home world, should not be theirs. There's so much talk of alien life; Are they coming..should we fear? I can tell you beyond all doubt: The aliens are already here.
