Ode To A (stupid) Ladybug


Goodbye, Ladybug…
We never even knew you.
But damn. You STUPID.

Dead Ladybug

Ha! I bet you thought
I would write again about
my new pregnancy!

Guess I just did.
Oh well, I can’t help myself.
The joy is too great. :-)

All I will say now
is: my maternity shorts
already fit. *cries* :’-(

This, I found today
right between my boobs – how rude!
A tick. Disgusting.

Tick. Ew.

I do not care to
have more than one parasite
at a time, but thanks!

    After reading your many haiku’s I am beginning to think that maybe I too can write one.

    But until I try,
    you are the creative one,
    I sit in envy.

    LOL!

    Well the ladybug has poor taste in choices to hang, but the tick has the right idea!

    Hmmm…no bug problems to report in this part of the world yet, but I *did* wake up with a tick attached to the side of my FACE once – about 1/2″ from my right EYE. *shivers* EEEEEEW! (And I’m not that “girlie”!)

    Nasty.. I hate ticks..

    As for you fitting in maternity clothes already, it’s a second baby thing. It’s like your uterus goes “Oh I remember what I’m supposed to do” and you get big much quicker than with the first one.

    New reader here–your haikus make me laugh! Ticks are just gross.

    And I feel your pain about the maternity clothes. That’s how it was with me the second time around.

    Boob-crawlin’ bugs *Shudder* I don’t believe I’ve ever come face-to-face with a tick. I hope to hold that record until I die! Lady bugs are usually a bit smarter than that. Maybe she came out too soon and got cold. lol

    It figures that the pretty colored ladybugs are actually male! The animal/insect/bird kingdom sucks that way!

    I love people that have never seen a tick. They are so cute! :) Yeah, they are a nuisance but in the South we just pluck ‘em and move on.
    I had a girl that was from a tickless state apparently. She could NOT get over a tick being on people or dogs. To her it was like a spider latched on. I used to chase her around when we were kids when she spent the summers down here with her grandma with her shrieking!
    Good times! :)

    You killed ‘The TICK’? Oh no. He was my favorite cartoon guy, EVER. Him and his sidekick, ‘THE FLEA’ were two real crime fighters. Obviously, there was something of the porn freak in him, as well, and apparently, it cost him dearly. Goodbye, TICK. I wonder if that means they’ll cancel his show? I’ll have to call the Cartoon Network to find out.

    Yuck!!!!!

    There is nothing quite as obscene as the first tick of the season on pale spring skin.

    Except, maybe, finding a tick on your sweet little child.

    Yuck!!!!
