Florida Redneck and a Highlands County Blessing

"A Highlands County FL. Blessing "

Note: If you are not a resident of Highlands County or never have lived in the hot, humid south, you may not understand the weight of this blessing!

Bless this house, oh Lord, we cry,
Please keep it cool in mid-July.

Bless the walls where termites dine,
While ants and roaches march in time.

Bless our yard where spiders pass,
Fire ant castles in the grass.

Bless the garage, a home to please,
Carpenter bees, and ticks, and fleas.

Bless the love bugs, two by two,
the gnats and mosquitoes that feed on you.

Millions of creatures that fly or crawl,
in Florida, Lord, you've put them all!!

But this is home, and here we'll stay,
So thank you Lord, for insect spray!
