Florida Mosquitoes

Florida Mosquitoes 

A boy stayed with his grandma one summer.
Mosquitoes loved him; it was a bummer!
They liked to drink his blood.
It never was a dud.
They lined up to slurp him for dinner.

Co-written by Dane Ann Smith-Johnsen and her 6-year-old grandson who said that the mosquitoes lined up to 
eat him.

Like this one Dane Ann....Seems that some people are better enjoyed by the mosquitoes...Maybe they are connoisseurs of royal blood...Hope that could be their reason to pick on some people...Sara

Congratulations to the both of you on this write Dane Ann. I lived in Naples for 10 years and I remember the planes that flew over trying to get rid of them. Love, Carol
