Comment from Phyllis Stewart

Excellent

LOL! Dad cared about roaches? Surely he was kidding. But the others... not too far from our house, not that there was punishment involved. We never kill a bug or spider if we can catch it and toss it outside. Except for two kinds--flies and mosquitoes. Bugs are people too, at least for this challenge. :)

HAAAAAAAHAHAHA! I loved the optical illusion at the end and the idea that every girl who read the last line could easily see around the trick and shout the proper word out in her head. I can still hear it echoing. LOL
Great piece in quick time too. We're really getting good at this stuff. Perfect rhyme and meter and complete domination of the female mind. Excellent. mikey

Hello author very good and great how you rhymed each of you bug poems with humor
I will say this one is the best

A silly young girl named Sheree
Stepped onto a poor honey bee
Her mother was sad
"Girl, you are so bad"
"Tonight there's no honey for thee!"

Hilarious! One of those occasions where a stroke of genius has occurred to spice up the grand finale! I love these limericks that break free from their chains!
