Mosquito Bites
I must be really sweet because
Mosquitoes seek me out.
The same’s not true for bees, whose stings
I’ll gladly do without.
I rarely see the biter
But of course, I feel the itch
Which sometimes lasts a week or more,
Another aging glitch.
A skeeter bite annoys me.
As a nuisance, none can match it
Though there’s great relief in doing
What I shouldn’t, which is scratch it!
