An Exterminator
< ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------->
"An Exterminator?"

I'm wondering --
If the CDC
Has an answer
For his existence?
Perhaps an exterminator --
They kill insects
Insects and rodents
Rats and mice and --
Cockroaches too!
A vermin controller
Is what I NEED
A vermin controller
Costs too much
Perhaps a paint gun --
And loads of Depends
Depends are expensive
Paint guns too!
I can't have him --
Dirtying everywhere!
Maybe a taiser --
Alas, he's too scared
To get that close
He'd rather stalk --
As a Jackal does
Running down prey
From the distance
Slowly and excruciatingly
Delaying the feast
Delaying the climax
Until victims are weak
The weaker the better
There's less risk
When victims are feeble
It's more enjoyable --
For his deranged kind
When victims are innocent
Innocent and defenseless
Pure and alone and lost!
Must he await --
The purrfect moment?
He's been stalking --
Such an extensive time
Perhaps he can't --
Afford Depends
     Either!
