Mozzie

Clad in black white strips,
Herald of muggy summers arrive.

With alert feathery antennae,
She begins hovering around.
I was literally dumbfound!
I mean! how dare she enter unannounced!
Even the cop needs cause and justification.
How come she has no reservations!
She just says, “Mozzie is here to stay!”
Hey! What is this way?

Without any warning she inserts her proboscis.
Doesn’t ever bother, it might make me sick.
In my breath she found her favourite CO2.
She blushed and said, “O dear, I love you!”
She gave me a deadly bite on my neck,
For my blood is now her delight.
Hell! Why I can’t smack her flight?

For She wasn’t a loyal lover,
To locate her next feast, she again began to hover!

I was thinking bumblebee, but ours are yellow and black. Honeybees are mostly browns. Is this a mosquito perhaps? Nice one.
