Nary a night that you were away<\/p>\n
Never skip a meet up every night<\/p>\n
You uninvitedly drop by<\/p>\n
You even stayed for a looong while.<\/p>\n
Never get accustomed to your nocturnal presence<\/p>\n
The shamelessness you shows, your temerity<\/p>\n
Gave me the nerve to accept the challenge.<\/p>\n
“Come on, Mr. Mosquito,<\/p>\n
Let’s see your mettle now, your valor.”<\/p>\n
But of course an invitation was the least<\/p>\n
of your concern<\/p>\n
With or without it, you’re on the go.<\/p>\n
And lo and behold …<\/p>\n
You landed on my arm unceremoniously<\/p>\n
…and started your thing, you miniscule vampire!<\/p>\n
Glad I was aware of your presence, your hovering,<\/p>\n
Ready to stop your invasion.<\/p>\n
WHAP! Goes my hand, palm opened<\/p>\n
Got you, Mr. Mosquito! On the spot!<\/p>\n
Without giving you the chance to do it again<\/p>\n
Disposing the ‘evidence’ of your lifeless body<\/p>\n
I came to rest for a second, for another bout \u00a0with your comrades<\/p>\n
whom incidentally came in full force!!!<\/p>\n
WHAP! SPLAT! TOINK!<\/p>\n
Goodbye and a requiem to you all<\/p>\n
Mister Mosquito(es)…<\/p>\n
The battle was won, what a night!<\/p>\n
