The Mosquito

I spent last night with a mozzie in my bed I heard that annoying sound I slapped my face I slapped my ears But you were whining around my head Under the sheet you managed to creep Taking chunks from my poor sunburnt skin You bit my back You bit my bum I tried to find you but I had to give in I didn't manage to get any sleep at all Because I was itching all night long I scratched my legs I scratched my arms I hadn't realised I was doing wrong I woke up covered in lumps all over Red and incredibly sore I dabbed calamine I dabbed anti itch cream To no avail, you won the war At the beach the itching got bad Biting me on my privates wasn't nice I tried creams I tried tablets I'm sure they all thought I had lice So tonight I will sleep peacefully Purchased two cans of mozzie spray I used the whole lot I enjoyed every minute Today mate is your last day
