The State Bird of Alaska
Have you heard that the
state bird of Alaska is the
mosquito which is the nasty
insect that flies around,
looking for a victim to be found.
Its blood-thirsty bite is
similar to a miniature
vampire who with teeth of
precision bites and draws
swooping down for its cause.
The rule of thumb is
to cover up head to toe
and not wear any perfume
or after-shave lotion or
you will be an object of its devotion.
When traveling in the great
outdoors of Alaska carry
a container of insect repellent,
preferably the dependable Deet,
making sure you spray your feet.
The mosquito of the great North
doesn't discriminate who it will attack,
redhead, blonde, gray, brown or black
heads of hair for it has a perpetual thirst
because its mighty tanks never burst.
