Weevils At Ball Poem by Douglas Scotney
Weevils At Ball
Less of a dastard if dastard at all
stands the nightly predator
who predates on nocturnal prey
going about their business
rather than on diurnal prey asleep.
My high-season, near-nightly killing of weevils
is one of the lesser evils
if evil at all,
for I do not kill them while they sleep
but while they're at their ball.

There may be some confusion over weevils and beetles here. maybe with dung beetles? ? maybe not. some weevils lay eggs in balls of cotton plants (so i've read) . OR maybe the prey is/are dancing at a " ball" ? to MyPoemList and to May 2019 showcase in any case! ! ! bri :) Thanks
