The mosquitoes bite me
I framed my windows with nets
the cockroaches hamper me
Everywhere I placed the trap sets
the lizards play around me
I placed antidotes in corners and dents
the ants get into my sugar container with glee
I draw lines with a chalk all around
now the squirrels play havoc in a spree
know not how to restrict them in a round
they eat up the fruits in the trees
build nests on windows and attic as found
stay I worried all the way
as I could fin no way
I have closed my house absolutely
only sun could enter freely
no chance of wind blowing through
a kind of living in a cage for necessity
with none to control or frighten me blue
