A beautiful spring day
enjoying a meal
an unexpected visitor
made an appeal
Abhor the site
the mosquito took a seat
feeling quite confident
an abstemious creature to defeat
The mosquito’s wings fluttered
as he landed on my skin
I randomly swatted my hand
on a whim
Leaving a welt
now buzzing near my ear
shaking my head and swatting
falling on my rear
Bug spray gathered
after a few choice words
spraying the patio
vision now blurred
Smoke clears
the mosquito is gone
plotting a new plan
a solution to count on
Late afternoon
on another day
tiki torches out
uncomfortable for the mosquito to play
Enjoying dinner
in the yard there is a song
mosquito staying in the yard
where he belongs
