Poem of the Week

Mosquitoes, Mosquitoes!

Mosquitoes, Mosquitoes,

stop torturing me,

why can’t you behave

more considerately,

you’ve bitten me practically

down to the bone,

mosquitoes, mosquitoes,

please leave me alone!

Mosquitoes, mosquitoes,

you’re hard to ignore,

I itch and I scratch,

I can’t stand anymore,

you’ve bitten my bottom,

you’ve bitten my top,

mosquitoes, mosquitoes,

I’m begging you stop!

Mosquitoes, mosquitoes,

I honestly feel

it’s time that you went

somewhere else for a meal,

you’ve bitten me places

I can’t even see,

mosquitoes, mosquitoes,

stop torturing me!
