POEM: Locusts Gone Biblical

Locusts, you were supposed to come
after the hail-fire storm.
The winged-buses got ambitious
in their desire to swarm.

 

Of course, pestilence of livestock
queue-jumped the frogs and gnats,
but that’s just ’cause a few people
think livestock includes bats.

 

Maybe it’s too late for this chain
of disasters to work.
Perhaps, we should call them all off…
