INSECT REPELLENT 

 

Pesticide-free was the goal

Insects difficult to control

Veggies, herbs, and fruits

Were eaten down to the roots

When I saw this idea online

Immediately made it mine

But had this urge every day

To pirouette as in ballet

So after a tropical storm

When the tulle was wet and torn

Repurposed it as a tutu

Danced Nutcracker among the bamboo

New career, I thought with content

Dream come true with a musical retirement…
