This is a true story. It actually happened to me.
I was much younger at the time, which is neither here nor there.
Bedbugs invaded my residence. How? I never knew.
This is still a mystery, as my home adjoined no other abode.
I suspect I unwittingly imported them via mail but don’t know.
While I had the house treated, I went to a cheap motel.
I awakened the next morning with familiar bites.
The room (and the entire motel) was similarly infested.
Wherever you go, there you are. Changing places doesn’t always change circumstances.
A valuable lesson, indeed.
