Rechargeable Electric Mosquito Bat

Rechargeable Electric Mosquito Bat Ho, ho,ho..! What a joyous Christmas season it is gonna be… This little gift my favourite little gal has just bought me… Tore away the gift wrappings to reveal another plastic wrapping…… Shades of blue with a coastal scene and a hue of orange… Turn it over, the same shades of blue and a set of instructions… Hefted and gingerly ran fingers all over this gift for confirmation… As realisation slowly dawns and elation builds up to a crescendo.. I spied a rounded sticker, prominently displayed with a design logo… Slowly I carefully read the words inscribed in the black outer rim of the sticker.. Rechargeable Electric Mosquito Bat, clearly lettered in bold white colour… Ho, ho, ho..! Gave out a pent up whoop of lengthy cackled laughter.. A Rechargeable Electric Mosquito Bat, just what I have been after… Felt an adrenalin rush, knowing now I can be the master… Come what may, mosquitoes by the hundreds I shall not falter.. In my hands now, a supreme weapon of destruction made in China… With a mere flick of a switch and a wave, every mosquito will be cinder… I can almost smell the acrid aroma of a roasted flying mosquito.. And hear the shrill sizzling of another hapless insect in death throes.. Ho, ho, ho..! Can’t wait till night fall when the little flying creatures come a calling… Gonna to stay alert for quick kills when the mosquitoes come flying… Maybe I should go about the house and start a mosquito hunting exercise.. Better still, let me get my windbreaker jacket, I'll go outside for an immediate exercise… If I get started now, I will have a headstart and man, I will get to kill hundreds.. Today is the dawn of Armaggedon for all those pesky mosquitoes and flying insects… Maybe neighbour Joe would like to join me in this worthwhile mission.. Heck, think I will pop over and invite him along and together we’ll see some action… Hey, Grandad, where are you going with that gadget now? These instructions, they say you’ve got charge it for 10 hours first time round! Huh?

Yup, the little sparks and the sizzling... You almost can imagine Grandpa whistling.. As he scoops right and left, up and down.. Battling flying minions going round... With a Rechargeable Electric Mosquito Bat...!
