I traversed Uganda through formerly troubled towns,And found a place called Kidepo where insects abound.At first they didn't really bother me much,But then I got bitten, the bites were red, swollen and hot to touch,Why do they choose me over all of my friends,I'd like them to share the love around, I don't want to offend.There are very many flies both tsetse and regular,And some other flying insects that look really quite bizarre.Then there are ants and mosquitoes that are only too happy to bite you,The insects of Kidepo lie in wait when you head to the loo.Oh how I wish they would all go away,And leave me to get on with my day.But I should stop moaning I've no right to complain,As Kidepo has lion, leopard and cheetah and all sorts of other game.As I sit in the paradise that is our campsite home,I watch the creatures of the savanna that are wild and free to roam.So I forgive you Kidepo for every pesky and biting insect,Because in so many other ways you are close to perfect.
