Perspective
If mosquitoes ate fat
instead of blood
there would be rows
of overweight people
laying out at night
like beached whales
coated in oily attractants
hoping they present
a savoury snack
soon salons would offer
overnight specials
"Lose While You Sleep"
shysters would schill
packets of special eggs
"Bred To Suck Harder"
until the fad fades
with the discovery
of some previously unknown
disease for which mosquitoes
are the unwitting vector
however ...
mosquitoes suck blood
(like salesmen)
