Free Breakfast

I saw the Purple Martins in flight
They swooped and dived to my delight
There was not enough Martins to eat all the mosquitoes
Those squitoes left ate breakfast for free on me

Being covered with bites, I can really relate to being a "free breakfast," Sara. Amusing poem! Love, Carolyn
