Free vector mosquitos biting little boy character

Mozzies, midgies, gnat attacks
On my blood they want to snack.
Silent, deadly, in they crept
Quenching their hunger as I slept.
Ugly, red, lumps and bumps
Itching, scratching; I've got the hump.
They transformed me into Quasimodo
Only time I've ever taken a selfie photo.
Evening time is my worse nightmare
Straight jacket on I must now wear.

Excellent Acrostic poem, Emilia. Maybe the best I've read. A FAV for my list. Thanks for sharing your poetic talent with us through your poetry. A poet friend (to be) in Texas, Bill

Hey Emilia! It's so good to hear from you. I love your poem, although I had a very difficult time dealing with mosquitoes myself. Just like you, I wish they leave me alone. And unfortunately, I had to put a long sleeved hoodie to prevent them from biting my sexy body. LOL

I would put a hoodie on but it is too hot here at the moment. They have left me alone for now but am sure they are watching and waiting in the wings lol. Emilia

The thing is, I didn't feel one bite, see or hear them, but itched like hell lol. They got me arms too at the top. Back stabbers they are lol. I will try the vinegar. Emilia : )

Ha! Nice humor Quasi (can I call you Quasi?). I'd skip the straight jacket though and grab some Raid
