A ZAPPING BAT
It looks like a small tennis racquet, I thought
we would have a game,
Work up an appetite although most of us
were old of frame,
But no! It was a zapping bat to keep the
bugs at bay,
Swing it for all your worth in a stylish,
fancy way.
It is vivid green so some warning comes
the poor critters get,
The small ones just make a zap sound. The
others I fret
Make a horrid crackling sound you know they are
dead for sure.
There person who invented this should never
ever be poor,
A bug zapper bat may soon became
all the rage,
The best thing for not being bitten in
many a long age.
I must look around and get one and exercise
with glee,
Working our like playing tennis to keep
myself bug free.
