The Good Mosquito

Posted on September 21, 2023 by mitchteemley

Heavenly Mosquito - Mitch Teemley (pixabay.com)

I dreamed I was a good mosquito
and thought it not a sin
to drain the blood of every human
to pierce and pock their skin

I was a loving ‘squito mama
with a lot of larvae
Denzel, Jane and Wilhelmina
Emmy, Joe and Harvey

I lived a life deemed worthy by
the insect god Big Kevin
and thus was asked to come and live
with him in ‘squito Heaven

When I arrived I was surprised
(I loved it oh so well)
to learn that humans hated it
In fact they call it Hell
