Wildlife Woes: A Poem About Fall Wildlife
I know without a doubt
it's fall once again
Cause of all of the wildlife
tryin' to get in
I have bats in my belfry
and mice up there too
I have raccoons a munching
on all they can chew
They're up in my attic
and out in the shed
these furry intruders
make me wish I was dead
The trash cans are rummaged
the garbage is strewn
if they haven't built nests yet
probably soon
The skunk smell is rising
from under the porch
my nostril cavities
are starting to scorch
And what's with the woodchucks?
I'm like, "what the heck!"
Their burrowing activties
are wrecking my deck
They're eating my plants
and flower stems too
With this onslaught of terror
what's a homeowner to do?
As it turns out
there's nothing to fear
I don't have to live
with these animals here
I can call a professional
have them trap and come spray
to my happy relief
they're a phone call away
