Congress members from five states, including Pennsylvania and Maryland, are calling on the federal government to approve strong pesticides to kill the stink bug. Lawmakers insist failure to act could cause a national crisis as the bug threatens crops throughout the nation.
Raising a Stink
Five of these United States
Have found themselves in dire straits;
They’re calling on ecology cops
To stop this “thing” that’s threatening crops.
The problem’s getting rather critical
And becoming more and more political;
Officials now feel deep frustration
And real concern to save the nation.
Congress hopes to soon provide
Someone with a pesticide,
Something like a potent spray
To make the stink bug go away.
