I will in no way discount
The sting of an angry bee
But an African mosquito’s dismount
I dread to feel and see
In swamps and shallow waters
In river edges and marshes
In other stagnant waters
Her female eggs it hatches
It will gently slide
To your sleeping ear
And humming to your ear slide
To say I am here
What a biting protocol
Observed without a ploy
We cannot issue a recall
As and when they deploy
Stiff fevers, red bumpy skins
To suck your blood, they drill
And when malaria kicks in
You burn as though on a grill
I speak to lift alertness
Though much has been handed
To rid us of this sadness
Yet more can still be added
