Bedbugs and Haiku

Given my habit to tell my kids/nieces/nephs:

Goodnight!
Sleep tight!
Don't let the bedbugs...
Bite!
Bite!
Bite!

... now bedbugs are a reality! A daughter suggested that, given my penchant for Haiku, I make a Goodnight Haiku for them:

Night of the sweet rest

Time of the good and calm sleep

Awake and rejoice.

Ughhhhhhhh.

Sorry, kiddoes - the haiku does not support nuzzles and tickles and even cyber-schmoozes.

Bedbugs, it is!

Sleep well and goodnight,
Check for hemorrhagic spots
In the morning time.

Good try, mom. As for Graham, maybe that second line could be replaced...
