Tales of an eccentric family stupid enough to move to the modern frontier.
Pine Bugs
Pine bugs here, pine bugs there, pine bugs in your underwear
Little smelly sticky bugs
In your hair and on the rugs
If you try to flick them off, they will stick like glue to cloth
Look just like a yellow jacket
Freak you out until you whack it
Knobbly legs with little claws
Eat them pine nuts with their jaws
Found one in my swimming suit
Found one in my son’s grapefruit
If you think this poem’s bad
You’re right but now I’m really mad.
Notice the fly with the attitude. I had to follow this little pine bug/beetle around the table to get a couple of good pics of him and this fly shows up and he’s like “this my piece of paper ya’ll”. Pine bug just says “ya, whatever”.
I live with my family, two cats, and at any given moment: ten dear, two turkeys, ten chicks, ten billion ants, ten thousand bees and wasps, two white rabbits, twenty angry squirrels, one occasional bear ( occasional works for me), a couple of snakes, the neighbor's stray dogs, and one very friendly skunk.

I don’t mind the bugs that are outside (my chickens will search and destroy) the ones that come inside, those are the ones that anger me.

My son found one in his sleeping bag last year. He retired it and refuses to ever use it again.
