Dengue Fever

Upon these humid shores,
Mosquitoes now bite more;
Dread and fever seek shores
As disease moot galore.


Stray echoes tell odd tales,
Reason sighs sans avail;
Logic primes visual sales
As fatal signs prevail.


Humid heat makes clusters,
Bites no laughing matter;
Jest will not sequester
The dengue molester!
