Earwigs Report Abuse
"I lifted the cake from its foil wrapping/ and three more earwigs went over the side/ of the can! For a minute I was so taken/ aback I didn't know if I should kill them,/ or what. Then rage seized me, and/ I plastered them. Crushed the life from them/ before any could get away. It was a massacre."
