[Sharon Fish Mooney]

(I'm with Brian--a little Latin; no Greek but this was fun anyway)

Shrill voiced mosquitoes,
you’re shameless, you’re wild.
I don’t think you should suckle
on anyone’s child or on
anyone’s lover or mistress,
instead, flap those wings,
get a grip, and
attack me instead.
I’ve been trying to write
about love this long night,
but of rhymes I’m deprived
and a good insect bite
just might help me revive.
Zenophilia counts sheep.
but you hover around her
and won’t let her sleep.
I warn you, vile creatures,
you'd better leave town.
Quit your nocturnal looming,
your fooling around or you’ll
soon know the power
of my jealous hands.
Stop! Cease and desist from
your audacious scams.
