Then quickly disappear
And return as quickly as they left
To atrophy your sanity
They buzz buzz buzz beside your drink
Then greet you in a wink
Rapidly pursuing as you attempt to flee
You are stalked on every walk
They buzz buzz buzz beside your hand
Then pick a spot to land
Departing with a swat on the wrist
Only to come right back for another attack
Be it a mosquito, hornet, wasp, or fly
You wish they all would quickly die
Itch! Itch! Itch! your back screams out
Right before you let out an earsplitting shout
They buzz buzz buzzed beside your ear
Then quickly disappeared
Finding a fleshy feast under your shirt
And with a bountiful bite,
They buzz buzz buzz right on by
As if saying "goodbye"
do you even have to guess that I am going to do some major complementing?

p.s. quit smoking :D
As do I. I have four rain barrels in my backyard, and every day at around 20:30, when I step outside, I am eaten alive. I hate them, especially the mosquitoes! Id rather one wasp bite than all the mosquito bites I have.
ReplyDeleteIm glad you liked this, because I had some doubts as to whether it was a good poem or not.
Lastly, *smoker's cough*
p.s. Hope your summer is going well so far =)
You're amazing.
