Everybody loves you and hates me
They hate me because I am ugly
Because I live in their cereal boxes
And under their sinks
They spray me with poison
And trap me with scents
They love you because you float on the wind
-- I have to crawl
Your colorful wings hide your six scaly legs
And your creepy antennas
They love you because you suck the juices from their manicured flowers
They love you so much...
They'll stick a pin through your heart
Ha!
I'll still be alive
When you're just a painful longing in withered hearts

-Doug Alan
