All those mosquitoes
On my window screen

Bloodthirsty little buggers
Wanting to get in

Sorry you pricks
Of a possible mortal wound

Someday you may be welcome
But not too soon

Oh, John, what a powerful impact your words have! Those armies of little killers are ruining my summer!
No sweet nightly hours of reading on the balcony anymore ... they break through whatever "firewall" I try to stay in peace.
It's frightening that these small beings are one of the greatest threats we have to endure ...

Love,
Margherita

Stated with admirable harshness.

In the US, mosquitoes are frequently viewed as a nasty unpleasantness, but in large parts of the world, it really is mortal combat.

Thanks for putting this all in words so easy to hear.

Hello I think the mosquitoes are the useless animals of the creation....They cause millions of deaths in a year although sharks cause 3 or 4 deaths in a year...I hate this bug.
