Parasite



3 WW

a mini vampire sucker
it almost explodes engorged
with stolen blood

the most dangerous insect
causing more deaths in the world
than any other

adequate protection may keep you safe
unless you are someone who it
finds absolutely  irresistible 

it will perform any miracle
to crawl into your bed
even chomp  through a mosquito net
to get to you then death buzz
sweet nothings in your ear
before its final fatal thrust

  1. Yes, they are fiends. I somehow have managed to escape getting bitten this year.

  2. yes mosquitoes are such fiends and they love me and of course I'm allergic to Deet so I try lemon preparations and hope they stay away from me.

  3. Jack has met a few of these in his time too. Nasty blighters. Need to be sprayed and squashed.

  4. The final fatal thrust of any parasite is most unwelcome..shudder...I guess citronella doesn't work on these big beasties

  5. They have an uncanny homing device that aims at my ankles. I am sure they are intent on conquering the world!

  6. Don't you just wish Noah had swatted those two on the boat?

    1. Noah did not know they were there. They were stowaways. :)

  7. Can they really get through mosquito netting? If so, that kind of negates all the charities which push us to donate so they can provide the nets! Good use of the prompt words.
