Bikini-bound on a trestle,
A train of thought to willingly wrestle..
Let no mosquitoes
Take her for burritos,
All that skin makes her very digestible!

CUISINE CAPERS!
CUISINE CAPERS
–
THREE beef and bean burritos,
Won’t scare away all the mosquitoes…
You’d better run
‘Cause I hear some
Thing revving up like magnetos!
–
His wife takes anti-gas now,
Their apartment smells less like a cow…
Both eating beans
The apartment steams,
Is all the air freshener down?

THE MUNCHY-CRUNCHY MOSQUITO
THE MUNCHY-CRUNCHY MOSQUITO
–
The munchy-crunchy mosquito
Serves as delicious burrito…
To swallows that fly
Their mouths open wide,
Consuming mosquitoes per kilo!
–
We here in northern climes
Mosquitoes appear in times…
Of sudden protein
(They’re eaten, we mean)
By birds at nesting time.
–
Using every pond and puddle,
Fish find the larvae no trouble…
A few we swat
The rest they got,
Seeing them perched on a bubble.
–
Mosquitoes to us are a pain,
To animals, in their food chain…
Too small for us
To make any fuss,
God’s creation has more than one aim!

THE SHADY SPOT
THE SHADY SPOT
He parked his car in the shade,
Reminded him of forest glade…
On land
He once had in hand,
So recently sold away.
–
So peaceful was it there
With pine-cone scented air….
Princess pine,
Oak leaves to recline
On to mosquitoes share!
–
Walking through the wood
For years did him good…
Sandy soil,
Healing oil
That softened a hard life’s flood.
–
Manage it he tried
Until the dream died…
Couldn’t afford
The room and board,
Can’t make the taxes, they cried.
–
Eight years beyond getting out,
Their broker gave a shout…
The place’s sold,
That woodland gold–
They were officially “without”.
–
He parked in this shady place,
Lit up from the smile on his face….
Reminding of
Their time of love
And working that wonderful space.

WHAT GOES WITH MOSQUITOES?
WHAT GOES WITH MOSQUITOES?
Those doggone, pesky mosquitoes,
Do they fit environmental credoes…
Malaria comes
Because of those bums,
The bloodsuckers drill through a Speedo!
–
On the tundra, fifty percent,
Of life–without mosquitoes–will have went…
They make easy food
With a good attitude,
Of major consequence.
–
Reindeer migration routes
Affected by mosquito soups…
Avoiding the buzz
Important because
Places need time to recoup.
–
Mosquitoes clean dirty water
Then feed fish and bugs as they oughter…
Many birds eat them too,
And “swallow” a few*
On the wing near the surface of water.
–
Females go after the blood,
To nourish their eggs in the flood…
Males in the sector
Survive on nectar,
For which pollination is good.
–Jonathan Caswell
* swallows…are one of the several bird types that eat mosquitoes “on the fly”–while flying.

SWIFT SWALLOW SWOOPING
SWIFT SWALLOW SWOOPING
Swift swallows swooping over the duck pond,
Swallowing mosquitoes with every pass there on…
Aren’t you glad mosquitoes don’t know until they’re dead
That swallows are coming who want to be fed!
–
Makes things easier when insects do not feel,
Fear or anxiety when they are a meal….
Unlike we humans with adrenaline needs
Insects are ready for when swallows feed.
