Tiny Vampire

The world's number one 
killer
I wonder why it hasn't 
yet made its way
Into a horror movie 
thriller
Why, though it could beat
Even the serial killer! 

Oh it gets even past 
locked doors
Through the tiniest of 
holes and pores
And however tiny
It bodes fatality
For to many its bites
Have been lethal, fatal
And it sings freely in 
your ears
But like a teeny weeny 
vampire

Don't you undermine the 
miniscule, the minute
For tis a real-life 
miniature vampire
Tis a blood sucking 
brute! 

And they come in hordes
Without guns or swords
This major yet tiny killer 
of humans
Though you might kill 
with a flick of your 
hands
Yet you could never 
wipe out the whole band
From the face of the 
earth
What with its prolific 
birth! 
As this is one flying 
army here to stay
And by hook or by crook
In each and every nook
It shall share our land! 

How terrible that our 
blood is on its main menu
My and your blood its 
main staple diet
So I warn you fellow 
humans
Save yourselves from 
the anopheles's bite.

Call it mosquito or agent 
of malaria
Plasmodiums are far 
worse than any bacteria

And they aren't just 
doing their job
They're doing their 
bloody feeding
We ain't in paradise yet: 
thus both the harmful 
and harmless are 
breeding!

this was a great twist on the topic of vampires. You took it to a whole different place with it being mosquitos! I think it would be scary to get malaria!!
