Sinister: first message on a new list

-----------------------------------------
my ceiling is covered with dead things
bits of spider fly and wasp.
i stand on my bed and squash them
with a book when i am cross.
on my wall some wasps are mounted
with red paint pretending to be blood
  and green to be the juice.
they are up there as a warning;
'i will tolerate no abuse'

the other day
a daddy long legs was dancing round my light
i missed with a rubber band
it began to show some fight.
when chasing a moving foe
here's a tip
i think you should know
grab a can of bodyspray
to keep the insect pest at bay.

in my haste i picked up 'hair in a can'
i got it in a corner and pressed down firm
and gave mr long legs a hendrix perm
purple haze and out of sight
it zipped through the window and
into the night.
