The Mosquito Squad

At last, Summertime is finally here. It's time to put away our winter gear; Show some skin and have a little fun While soaking up the warm summer sun. But unbeknownst to you and me Is a treacherous insect far worse than a bee. The mosquito lurks beneath the shadows, Waiting to eat people's legs, arms, and toes. Yes, this critter has dreamt on the very day That our sexy bodies will be his buffet. "This year", he declared without being snooty, "My targets are the ankles, knees, arms, and booty. But I cannot do this task alone." So he calls the Mosquito Squad on the phone. The plans were made as the day turns to night. A fellow mosquito yells, "Out goes the light!" Then the leader says, "Now we strike! Attack that juicy butt with all your might!" As they fly with lightning speed, There was one thing that they didn't heed. It wasn't noxious gas or the Swatter of Doom, But all the mosquitoes heard was a loud "KABOOM!' They hit the ground hard with the other dead flies; For the Invisible Bug Zapper was their demise.
