Blue bug
pretty as can be
buzzing around the grill
annoying to me
He is a pest
trying to taste my food
trying to swat him
food smells so good
I miss him
as he flies away
coming back again
trying to stay
The grill is hot
the pest finds a spot
difficult to reach
he lands on my pot
I swat him again
he flies away
the food almost ready
he is determined to stay
One final time
dancing as I swat
he dives for the food
a prize that he got
He flies away
taking his prize
the bug won the day
there is smoke in my eyes
