Entomology Raps
Peter Pediculosis
My name’s peter pediculosis
And my rhymes is mad ferocious
Lice bite me at night
But my flow is still tight
The bites itch they don’t sting
And I gots ice on my pinky ring
They got six legs
And nits is what they call eggs
They’re real species specific
And this is a catchy limerick
But I need to end it
Cause these bites make me sick
A-Z
Arthropods can annoy but also annihilate
Always advance at ants to aspirate
Bucolic butterflies best be be-netted
Because other blunders may leave them beheaded
Crazy caterpillars cut cool leaves
Cunning ceratopogonids sip on cleaves
Drowsy dung beetles drive dudes deranged
Ditsy damselflies drop out, defamed
Extracurricular ephemeroptera don’t eat with ease
Erring earwigs eke their eats
Fleeing ferocious fire ants is a feat
When foraging for a fight, they bring the whole fleet
Gyrinids and Gerrids get gassed in gullies
Grateful grasshoppers gorge on guppies
Harvard hopeful hymenopterans
eat heaps of hemipterans
intuitive isopod intellectuals
invent iceskates, but they're ineffectual
Joyous June bugs remain jocund
when juxtaposed with jargon
Katydid kabobs help keep up kayaks
and key in on keyboards with korrect syntax
Lecherous lepidopterans leap at life
leaving losers to lunch on loosestrife
Monotone mantids make meals of mealworms
munching and maybe moping about midterms
Narcoleptic Neuropterans need nicotine
noisily and nervously saying they're nineteen
Overconfident orthopterans opt out
obviously and obliviously obscure about drought
Pleasing fungus beetles press peoples pants
and perfunctorily perform a priceless prance
Quixotic cockroaches quiz and quip quickly
quietly they quiver rather queerly
Restive reduviids refuse rowdy roommates
retorting that the rambunctious are reprobates
Stoic Simuliidae seethe sorely and surely
supposing that supreme stories are spoken simply
Trembling tipulids toss off toes
turning to tramps, trusting themselves to their throes
Undulating uraniidae urge U to urinate
unfortunately unable to understand updates
Vivacious vespids veer vapidly
vying for vestibules in the valley
Wanton wasps wander and wonder
why the wife wants so many whippersnappers
Xenophobic Xenopsylla get x-rayed
while x-pecting X-mas x-citement
Youthful Yuccas yearn for yucks
yielding instead to yawing yaks
Zesty zygopterans zip zealously
zinging past zombies going zany.
