Deer In the Headlights Experience

You heard me complain about this and that Today I glorify in being at the Food Chain's top Neither sacred bulls, cows, or holy hen are safe From my predation; they are prey, my target Until one summer, brother Mosquito terrorized me Maybe it is Sister Mosquite? Female mosquitos bite - Not the males, who may not need my blood for larvae Finally falling asleep, then zweee-zweee in power and might I swat this way and that, they just bide their time As I settle back, they go for my ears: ZWee-Zweee LORD, why am I a victim, In my sleep, beside! I get up, turn on the light, they are out of sight But no, at the back of my head, the cowards! The mosquito rarely comes face-to-face After my nocturnal research notes, this is fact: Mosquito will come at you belly level, not high After reluctant research of this sort and dubious expertise I invested in an insecticide. Yes, now Zwee-Zweeing Will be followed by a blast into the past, me dancing Into the wee hours. One down. Other nights: 5 and counting
