Familiars


What home creatures do you keep at home?
For renting we can't have pets!
So we have familiar pests
Theres the daddy long legs,
That moved from the shower cubicle
To underneath the commode,
I disturb it ritually
Every week while vacuuming.

Theres the ugly black cricket
That keeps popping up everywhere
Despite being carefully put back
In the garden where it should belong.
Stubborn little creature!

Lastly theres the large night moth
That refuses to follow the lights
To the safety of the garden
And keeps flying directly
Into one's face.

So this place is not so unfriendly
As I first thought.
But I still miss my dogs.
