Stink Bug 1

Stink bug on my wall.

How far will it fall?

On my head, I say?

No, not today.

Stink bug on my wall.

Stink bug on my toe.

No way, uh-oh.

Cannot sleep this way.

This stinkin’ bug must pay.

Stink bug on my toe.

Stink bug on my shirt.

It doesn’t smell like dirt.

I screamed, I jumped, I cried.

That bug is now outside.

Stink bug on my shirt.

Stink Bug 2

Adventure bikes swirling in my head.

Stink bugs all over my gosh darn bed.

Wish those stink bugs weren't on the wall.

Wish those stink bugs didn’t fall.

Clean white linen smells so divine.

Till stink bugs stampede my clothing line.

Crush one, crush two, crush three, crush more.

Now I’m headed out the door.

Stink bugs on my wall.

Stink bugs don’t you fall.

No, not today…
