Mosquito

Bloody Mozzie, Parasite

Keeping me awake at night.

Buzz around my night light

To satisfy your appetite.

Keep taking antihistamine

For the scratching, itching, bleeding.

Seep your poison in my skin;

You really are disgusting.

You’ve bitten my toe, my arm, my leg.

My shin, my back, my neck and head,

My eye, my thigh, now you must be well fed

As I lay scratching drawing blood in bed.

Damn you, how I want you splat!

Red and brown, fed and fat.

Squashed upon my ceiling flat,

You’ve left me ugly red marks, fucking gnat.
