Frog hoppers

Sadly lots of gardens
Allowing debris to
Build up over seasons
Attracts the beasties who
Create a form of spital
They are tan or black
And they
Have bright red eyes
Like tiny monsters
On a sunny day

They flourish on the lavender
The spital forms you’ll see
Underneath the stems alas
Sticking there, a key
To spital bugs
Weakening the plants
Where on they lie
Creating XYLELLA
Before it’s seems they die

In September and in October
Females come back again
We need to make up a toxic
Spray
So they feel the added pain
And don’t come back not ever
Leave your plants alone
Froghoppers are show stoppers
And are Not washed off by rain.

Sadly
