How can such a little thing
Be so damn annoying?
Flying round my arms and legs
It’s bothersome and cloying.
Who would think that little guy
Could be such a bloody sucker?
When he sticks his fangs in me
I scream “You Motherf*#+er!”
Go away, you vile thing
I’ll swat you with a stick.
You’re not welcome in my home
You nasty little prick!
You get me every time I’m out;
My blood is extra sweet.
Come and get me, little twit!
Tonight I’m packing DEET!
The end. 🦟

I was right there while reading, at the back of the class taking notes and wondering who among my fellow students I would be most comfortable with breaking bread at lunchtime. Loved the dynamic that the teacher was only up until recently a student himself.

What a hilarious poem, Nancy! I thoroughly enjoyed it, but I heard that some mosquitoes don’t like sweet blood.

All I know about mosquitos is they like me, whether my blood is sweet or not! I had a lot of fun writing that poem and I think the liberal use of curse words really brought the message home LOL!! 😂 🦟

Because we haven’t had a ton of rain this year, the mosquitos have not been too bothersome. But all it takes is one, especially at 2 a.m.
Love the poem Nancy!

Thanks, Dorothy! You’re right about the rain but these buggers are resilient. They love me but I hate them! 🤣

You’re right. The other night we saw fireflies (lightning bugs). I can’t remember the last time we saw those cute critters and it was so nice to see them again! ⚡️

My wife used to be more vulnerable to getting bitten and I rarely got them. But lately I’ve fallen victim to the little pest. I think it has something to do with having aged and my vintage blood. You know, like fine wine.

Yes! I can definitely relate but I was always susceptible to bites. From the moment I step outside they hone in on me like Kamikaze pilots! 🛩
