Bug Bitten

The bite may sting, swell, or itch;
somehow that tiny insect always leaves its mark.
The bug gets away every time.

My worst bug bite caused me to twitch.
I could not see this bug coming, for I was in the dark.
The bite may sting swell or itch;

like the horrendous bite I received while I was in a ditch.
The pain felt like I had been bitten by a small shark.
The bug gets away every time.

Many bug bites cause one's skin color to switch.
The bite could be pink, yellow, or leave a scar quite dark.
The bite may sting, swell, or itch;

Scientists researching bites can become rich;
I know a doctor working with mosquitos, Dr. Clark.
The bug gets away every time.

I hate all bugs, especially if their buzzing is a high pitch;
especially when it is just you and the bug, in a room so stark.
The bite may sting, swell, or itch;
the bug gets away every time.
