Gershon Wolf Poet Dramatic Verse

Mosquito Massacre - Shocking Report

  Well, fellow stinging malarial insects
  They really chloroformed us this time
  You got the latest stats, Buzzer?

  Check, Bleeder: Read 'em and weep
  3,400,000 dead; 1 wounded

  Just a minute, there, Buzzer. One wounded?
  That's right, Bleeder. Critical condition too

  What's this weirdo's diagnosis, if I may ask?
  Check, Bleeder. Doc says he was OTAA on-arrival

  And just what is OTAA?
  Over-the-anthill-anyway, sir.

  Check, Buzzer... He gone!

Terry Flood January 18, 2024 at 3:58 PM Garrrrhhh… I hate them mossies… always sticking their noses in where they’re not wanted. Enjoyed… shame it made me itch! Gershon Wolf January 18, 2024 at 7:36 PM Reminds me of that Latin saying: 'I itch, therefore itch I.' Remember that one?! ~ Hippopotamus Campus

Hilda Greenhough January 17, 2024 at 10:15 PM I've heard that mosquitoes kill more people than any other living creature. This was an interesting dissertation. Hilda Greenhough January 18, 2024 at 7:52 PM Maybe not. Gershon Wolf January 18, 2024 at 7:46 PM Wow. Even more than mother-in-laws? ~ gw

Evelyn Judy Buehler January 17, 2024 at 8:50 PM A tragedy for mosquitos, but for humans, not so much! So funny, Gershon. :) Gershon Wolf January 18, 2024 at 7:42 PM True enough. But what if there's a shortage of hypodermic needles some day? Who will take our blood if not the local Moe Ski Toes?
