Eyes of the insects

Eyes of the Insects

Down on the ground,
We are crawling around,
Looking up in awe of your size,
We are trying not to make a sound,
Hiding in shadows, we were not found,
Out of the way is wise.

While I was flying inbound,
I was spotted by the hound,
He gave chase and I hitched a ride,
My grip was broken and I fell down,
Narrowly missing my crown,
I used the dog's limbs as a slide.

We are getting into all the nooks and crannies,
Finding all those hidden spaces to reproduce,
There are many more of us to introduce,
Especially in the homes of grannies!

I cannot resist this sugar candy,
It was like I had been seduced,
Now my annoyances have been reduced,
After I was trapped inside this bottle of brandy.
