Buzzing Mosquitoes At Night

In the still of this young night, here in the dark I lounge alright.. Low down in this executive chair, my legs are parked on the table high in the air.. The chair is well laid back and I have my forefinger tip tapping on a tablet phone.. The low glow from the display reveals each word I want as if alive on its own... Mosquitoes by the numbers are buzzing crazily all around in the air... Even as over my head, a low humming airconditoner sends down its cooled air... Outside, a shrill cricket shrieks somewhere in the night.. As my fleeted forefinger quickly punch out every word right... But for the mosquitoes, it is all peace and quiet in this night... How I wish for a kindred soul to partake in the tranquility of the night...

This soul would be running into the house, hate those things, only fleas are worse. Also hate the word hate, but it is true in this case. Do you have fleas in Malaysia? Would you like ours? I loved the rhyme and found the entire write most enjoyable. I regret I have only read four of years before having to close down. If my memory works, I will be back ... CayCay

Hehe.. mosquitoes are hateful and tormentful tiny creatures.. In some ways could be a heavenly reminder for the humans nature.... Small in size but packing a wallop with each tiny bite... God is out of sight but we must not ever lose sight... All are creatures on earth in harmony with nature alright...
