Once bitten....
Heard a rumour that a spoonful of marmite
Would deter a mozzie from their bite
And the gossip from the product SSS,
Might stop them feeding from my legs!
(It works for the army in hot nations
As Avon add on their inflations)
But then with all probability
I might start stinking of scented gravy....
And even though the use of a repellent
It doesn’t seem to be a good deterrent;
As they play their mozzie drone
Another itchy spot that makes me moan!
Perhaps better to start to think again
About our life cycle of a food chain
And let the birds devour succulent eats
Of gnats, fresh blood –won’t deny their treats!
So what of taking an antihistamine?
Would midge eating animals think that mean?
Taken with wine, all would be fine
Sleep at night on the washing line!
Mosquito you are a nasty organism
With all your filth but some wisdom
Your short life here is very quick
This is just as well coz you make me sick!
