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!
