Question: Do you know invisible menaces!?
The eighth plague
By C!.S!. Scotkin
I go not to my porch
I’d like to take a torch
that would clear the air of these no-see-ums!.
These pesky flying lice,
twenty on a grain of rice,
they come in through intact screens, torture all!.
You cannot see them there
hanging in the air
until you take a breath, you inhale them!
They get under your clothes,
they will zoom up your nose!.
Mother Nature’s playing Moses today!.

I guess I don`t understand the whole meaning of the poem because I don`t get the very last line!. I love how you say "hidden menaces!."Www@QuestionHome@Com
Super!. I can relate to the no-see-ums!. also, the tiny mosquitios with the largest of bites!. I like your reference to Moses and the poem's structure!. Each third line was an excalamation! Most enjoyable!. Although, I am feeling a bit itchy!Www@QuestionHome@Com
I've never heard of such a thing - flying lice - 20 on a grain of rice!! Evidently - since you are living with them - they have not been too harmful ?Www@QuestionHome@Com
