A Mite Heavy

The ten pound dust mite

Lurking by my head

Resting in my pillowcase 

Watching me in bed

The ten pound dust mite

Waiting to get in

Waiting for a meal

Dining on my skin

The ten pound dust mite

Jumped onto the floor

Then I saw that dust mite

Crawl out my bedroom door

The ten pound dust mite

Has me shaking to my core

What's that moving in my bed?

I think there maybe more

The ten pound dust mite

Quickly crawled away

Down into the front hall

It tried to get away

The ten pound dust mite

What am I to do

It got into the garden

Then ate my doggies poo

The ten pound dust mite

Scared away my dog

Who ran out from the garden

To hide behind a log

The ten pound dust mite

Got back into the house

Creeping up the back stairs

Quiet as a mouse

The ten pound dust mite

Now now odorous and strong

Crept back into my bedroom

With a smell that was just wrong

The ten pound dust mite

Crawled back into my bed

Creeping underneath the covers

Towards my sleeping head

The ten pound dust mite

Crept back inside my head

From my imagination 

...Or so my mommy said
