The mozzie

2781

I had this mozzie recently buzzing around my bed 

 

I'd try to get him when he came near but just smacked myself in the head

 

Couldn't catch the nuisance 

 

When I put the light on he would hide 

 

I haven't heard him for a while so I guessed he must have died.

 

Last night, half asleep, I dropped my glass

 

While mopping up the water my joy was enhanced 

 

Hiding under my mattress was a daddy long legs in his webb 

 

Now I thought, how good is that!

 

The Lord sent me a friend. 

 

Better than the toxic cocktails we are told to spray around 

 

God's little helper was just above the ground 

 

Setting his net near the mozzie lair-

 

Now I am sleeping peacefully. 

 

So lovely in his care.

    Magic
    We call them midges in Scotland
    Kill one and 100 come to the funeral
    Thoroughly enjoyed

    Empathised with every line.... My old mate was the huntsman, although both the spider and the mozzies seem to have disappeared in the last ten years... Climate change...?

      Might be that El Nino

      Excellent work. Those things drive me crazy.
