Nary a night that you were away

Never skip a meet up every night

You uninvitedly drop by

You even stayed for a looong while.

Never get accustomed to your nocturnal presence

The shamelessness you shows, your temerity

Gave me the nerve to accept the challenge.

“Come on, Mr. Mosquito,

Let’s see your mettle now, your valor.”

But of course an invitation was the least

of your concern

With or without it, you’re on the go.

And lo and behold …

You landed on my arm unceremoniously

…and started your thing, you miniscule vampire!

Glad I was aware of your presence, your hovering,

Ready to stop your invasion.

WHAP! Goes my hand, palm opened

Got you, Mr. Mosquito! On the spot!

Without giving you the chance to do it again

Disposing the ‘evidence’ of your lifeless body

I came to rest for a second, for another bout  with your comrades

whom incidentally came in full force!!!

WHAP! SPLAT! TOINK!

Goodbye and a requiem to you all

Mister Mosquito(es)…

The battle was won, what a night!
