Flying fuckers
With a sting in their tail
In the dead of night
Do they prevail
Rampant hunters
Hungry for blood
They seek out body parts
And annihilate them good
Piercing your skin
Until it itches and swells
Weeping puss
Irritating as hell
Clusters of bumps
All over the place
Sometimes on your arse
Even on your face
How do they crawl
Into every nook and cranny?
Their desire to feed
Is alarming and uncanny
Buzzing around
Like kamikaze assassins
Flying vampires
Vile and nasty
A pleasant evening spent
Down by the lake
Making merriment
Until you awake
To find yourself covered
From head to toe
In massive, throbbing welts
That cause you much woe
Angry and sore
You scratch until they bleed
It’s the only way
To get a reprieve
Oh to exterminate
The disgusting shits
Oh to wipe them off the face of the earth
For making me itch
What purpose do they serve?
Except to bring misery?
When they descend on you en mass
Whilst you sleep
I’ve tried lavender oil
Tea tree and citronella
But nothing can extinguish
The prickliness of these fellas
You can try to swot them
And watch them splatter
But there’s plenty more where they came from
So it’s a pointless battle
They outnumber us
In the summer months
Oh how I despise mosquitos
The airborne little cunts.
