Mosquito Battle Song

O dear, I hear a mosquito near my ear

Originally published on Medium on December 3, 2022. View original

Come all ye men married and mated
and hear the song of injustice
that’ll make ye heart go all jaundice

’Twas a night of November,
it pains me to remember;
my beau and I chilling
Interview with the Vampire playing

All of a sudden the lass screams in ire
“O dear, I hear a mosquito near my ear
kill the vile fly my sire,
so I can concentrate on the hot vampires.”

Now, lads come closer
for there’s a detail ye must consider
(’tis a sidebar just for ye and me)

When my wife and I together
and mosquitoes get to know us
bite me would they ne’er
’tis my wife they always favor

So ’twas for love so selfless
that I raised my rolled-up Esquire
and got up to battle a mini vampire

then I waited
even showed some skin to bait it,
…until

(wait for it)
(wait for it)
(waaaaaiiit for it)
WHAM!

I smashed the sucker
splat on the stucco
(and left the body there
as a warning to those psychos)

Glorious, victorious, and surely uxorious
I returned to my dearest sitting on her throne;
but alas, the treacherous wench was
watching the show on her phone!
