Electric Mosquito Bat

Reached out for my windbreaker jacket, lifted it off its peg…
Slipped my left hand into the left sleeve to be followed by my right…
My mind was ever so clear, my heart ever so light, for tonight I strike back..
Selfconsciously  I  smirked a grin, for  tonight, The Empire Strikes Back…

The other family members, they are all engrossed with the TV in the living room…
Some silly local production drama, lots of overacting and tears aplenty to flood a room…
That was not for me, I have a higher mission to answer for this cannot wait…
Tonight I begin a mission with  my newly gifted rechargeable electric mosquito bat….

It has been fully charged, I had timed it to perfection by my alarm clock....
Luke Skywalker, even Hans Solo , eat your hearts out for I have this sword…
It is electric, fully charged, it is lethal upon touch, mosquitoes and flying insects are cinders…
No, I do not have to swat nor strike out, I only need to wave it about to destroy all insects…

Furtively I stole a look into the living room, then turned back and flicked softly a light switch…
The lone bulb flared instantly and bathed the patio outside the kitchen in soft yellowish light…
As I leaned forward to peer through panel window in the back door,  mentally I smiled again, 
Now out there, in that patio, yours truly and this electric mosquito bat, we‘ll do battle to win..

Left hand grasping my electric mosquito bat, my right hand grasped the kitchen door knob…
There was a soft click as I slowly pulled open the wooden door, the  battlefield beyond  beckoned…
My heart was light, a silly tuneless humming still on my lips as I eagerly stepped  forward…
Flying insects by the hundreds are mine to slay, the thrill and body counts will be my rewards…

Hey, who left the back patio light on?
Grandad, why are you out here?  Better get inside before you catch a cold!!
