Attack of the Giant Insects
by

I miss the old time monster movies where the insects ruled the day,
Where disaster results from a mishap with a disintegrator ray.
Unleashing the wrath of nature by causing the insects to expand,
Proving to us once again that the scientists are getting out of hand.
The military would be activated before they’d answered all the hows,
And the energy beam that they created makes roaches the size of cows.
Then a giant deadly mantis terrorized Washington D.C. one day,
And finally taught the liberal congressmen just how it is you prey.
Enormous hairy spiders are in the subway and on the track,
Webbing people in giant cocoons and saving them for a snack.
There was always a beautiful woman with a bod and brains to boot,
And you knew that the hero would save her with his manly chest hirsute.
Because even though he said something to her just to raise her ire,
You could tell that between the two of them there burned a raging fire.
As she works in her lab late at night the bugs come looking for their meals,
She tries to get away but she can’t run too fast while wearing her high heels.
What was there left for her to do but to freeze in place and start her screaming,
The hero saves her in the nick of time with his smile that was redeeming.
She’d develop a serum to reverse the horror that stares them in the face,
But he was the only one who could deliver it and save the human race.
The combination of her brains and his last ditch daring do,
Would ultimately serve to save the day and some kissing too.
They’d fall into each other’s arms as his tattered shirt reveals,
His blood stained bulging biceps and the love for her he feels.
And just before the credits role “The End” comes up on the screen,
Then a tiny vial falls off the lab bench and a question mark is seen.
They don’t make them like that any more but why I just can’t say,
Possibly because tastes have changed and now good taste rules the day.
