I is for Insects

Written for NaPoWriMo long ago. Few eyeballs at my other site. We know the drill.

I is for Bugs


I is for bugs
In that
They are
Icky
Irksome
Irrelevant

But Impossible to Ignore.

They bite you, suck you
Fly before your eyes
And make you
Itch
Irritated
Ill-tempered.

Worse, they Insult your Intelligence.

You find it
Incredible
Incredulous
Implausible

That they were here
Hundreds of millions of years
Before you, Ignoramus!

I is for Insects.

There are, at present, some 4,600 species of cockroaches, 3,500 species of mosquitos, and 120,000 species of flies. I am only talking about the 'pests'. There are still beetles (oh yes, a big group), grasshoppers, butterflies, moths, ants, and bees. And a lot more. They are gonna outlast us anytime. 🦋 🐞

Hey guys, feel free to add any more "I"s in the comments. 😁
