I HATE TICKS
In the city
For a week
No ticks there
A nice relief
Got back home
They were waiting
On a rock
Salivating
One bad tick
On my ankle
And my ear
As an example
I do not like
A tick or two
I do not want
One on my shoe
Or in my hair
Or on my cat
I do hate ticks
And that's just that
I put my hand upon my ear
Because it itches
Let’s be clear.
Eight legs walking,
What a bummer.
My tick Rick is back;
It’s summer
Winter’s gone
And if I’m right;
Rick is wanting
Just one bite
Alas poor Rick
Was very hasty
Looking here and there
For tasty
I am quick to kill a tick
Especially
My good friend Rick
I HATE TICKS
My tick Rick
Is never rude
while he’s waiting
For his food
He’s as patient
As a brick
After all he is
A tick
He is waiting
on my bed
In my shoe
or on my head.
My sister has
a tick named Jim.
We are both
Afraid of him
I HATE TICKS
I HATE TICKS
“I hate the woods,"
Said Rick the tick.
Only birds
Sometimes a rabbit
To satisfy my bloody habit.
What I want is arms
And legs
Teeming crowds and
Beer in kegs
Oh, my heart!
What do I see
A license plate
For NYC
In I go
And hunker down
Johnnie drives me
Way Uptown
I am dry
And need to drink
I bite his leg
His shin
I think
That is why
I never see
Very much of
NYC
I don't have time
I don't have fun
Johnnie shoots me with a gun
