How do gnats enter?
A million dollar question
Puzzles me till now
Brought preventives this and that
Closed all doors but of no use

A friend advised me
To lit a herbal dhoop stick 
Smoke made me breathless
Smeared sticky balm, kept lights on 
To get rid off but in vain

Swiveling their wings
Whining at our earlobes
Devilish music
Scratching bites makes much itching
No way- tucked from head to toe.
