Although far from amusing,
Whose conflagration so confusing
Draws lines of hate I cannot see
Upon the withered night

A breed of twisted silence
Broken by a twisted will.
I lie and wait with deathly still
Lest I should miss the quiet violence
Inflicted on my dreams

Helpless to such hapless aim
That leads a vile, unpleasant fiend
Into my veins, my lifeblood gleaned
For sustenance and worthless gain
Of seconds to a charmed life.

You justify this unlawful trade,
This thievery in awful truth,
Of easy rest and priceless youth;
A morsel of my comfort made
To satisfy thy morbid thirst.

The night such busy work doth bring,
But rest be my priority,
Humbled by supreme authority,
I lie and wait for the troubled sting
Incarnate, by such a little thing.

The Mosquito

Funny it does seem to me,
Although far from amusing,
Whose conflagration so confusing
Draws lines of hate I cannot see
Upon the withered night

A breed of twisted silence
Broken by a twisted will.
I lie and wait with deathly still
Lest I should miss the quiet violence
Inflicted on my dreams

Helpless to such hapless aim
That leads a vile, unpleasant fiend
Into my veins, my lifeblood gleaned
For sustenance and worthless gain
Of seconds to a charmed life.

You justify this unlawful trade,
This thievery in awful truth,
Of easy rest and priceless youth;
A morsel of my comfort made
To satisfy thy morbid thirst.

The night such busy work doth bring,
But rest be my priority,
Humbled by supreme authority,
I lie and wait for the troubled sting
Incarnate, by such a little thing.

I'm afraid that you are much too kind to this vile, unpleasant fiend! Our country home is called 'Mosquito Acres' for obvious reasons and we don't give our lifeblood willingly to the little fiends--We go down fighting! ha ha!

Enjoyed your view of them, though!
