Tired is the body and the soul after their duties of the day,
Sweating profusely, unfortunately is the hottest month of May;
After an hearty dinner, which isn’t as good as an undisturbed sleep,
I have gone into a sleep miraculously cool and deliciously deep.

But my joys were only short-lived and my pleasures disrupted,
When from nowhere a gang of mosquitoes erupted.
Doors closed, windows closed, mosquito repellents coils in rear guard action,
Yet they gain entry into my heaven within a second’s fraction!

First they sit on me rather affectionately and then suck my blood just as my boss does,
Half asleep, half awake, they have put me into a total mess.
When my fellow beings, I find it difficult to manage,
Tiny than those, but stubborn enough cause the maximum damage.

Trusted and affectionate companions, deep in my skin, guard me every night,
Small in stature, yet convince everyone of their prowess and might.
Though I am their foe, rejoicing by murdering their band,
Aplenty they occur again and again, maybe they have some magic wand.
