A centipede found its way into our home
My hairs stood on end for hours on end!
And while we tried learning about it on Google search,
in a dark and damp crevice it made its perch
All the cyber net did was to amplify my fears
It also yielded that our azure electric-blue vermin was quite hot on the market
Making me wonder how people could fancy such a nightmarish pet!
For this wasn\'t just any pest
This had hazardous venom I fearfully wondered if
they had its antidote serum.
We couldn\'t just ignore a pair
of painful pincers on the loose
We couldn\'t simply rope those
like bull horns in a noose.
Here was a venomous predator
complete with stinging apparatus
Its bite portended pain
and complications humongous!
It did appear to have
those rumoured hundred segments
but count scaredy me out from counting
those myriads of ligaments.
This insectivore when we tried then to shoo, with lightning speed it zig-zagged out of view!
So now it lurks somewhere but we can\'t find it anywhere
and gosh its stingers triple their size in my nightmare!
besides leaving us with a proliferation scare.!
And but timid me thanked God once again
to my great relief how thoughtful of Him indeed to create venomous creatures that inflict stinging pain
but atleast are unable to zoom in flying at us at flying speed! .
(a flyin scorpion, centipede wud have been far more terrifyin n dangerous eh) .
