Take a Hike

Don’t forget the insect repellent Mosquitoes can cause such discontent These bugs make me itch Watch me swat and twitch The cost of “Off” is money well spent Written April 3, 2014

Oh how I agree with you my friend! There are many different products of "Off" that you can use to keep those creatures off of you! The most popular is the spray, as that was the original form! I really enjoyed reading this wonderful poem here this evening What a masterful piece, Great Work!!

The manufacturer should use this limerick in their advertising. Good job, and it's good to see you back on this site again.
