Common Household Pests 35

Dingo moves in;
you'd like him to go.
And that means
you must join his pack
don't you know.
Now, he doesn't do email,
you can't telegram;
your only recourse
is the entrance exam.
To take and to pass
such a test from a dingo
requires, to start,
that you master his lingo.
Figure that out
then a challenge for you:
convince him you mean it
when you say "adieu".
You must be convincing;
he must think it true
when you say in his language
"yap yip yap aaarroooo".

Common Household Pests 34

It's a thousand to one if you find a mazama
in your closet or attic along with his mama,
they're shy and reclusive, avoid too much drama,
might be disguised as a small oddball llama,
pose little danger; you won't come to hama,
and they somehow attract the stray colon: and, comma.

If you happen to drive a Camaro or 'Stang
a zoril might grab it, the punk.
He's a loner who travels without any gang;
just surrender the car; he's a skunk.

What a surprise when a urial flies
and alights in your patio space.
They're stubborn though and before you can know
they've moved all of their stuff to your place.

They're quite territorial,
and what is morial,
they love to compete
and they always keep scorial.

And that is the secret to regain your home;
it's a weakness you're able to use.
Invite them to play some good games you can win,
they'll stomp out 'cause they don't like to lose.

It doesn't matter if you're strong,
it will still take you oh so long
and put you out of mood for song
to rid your bath of a stray dugong.
