MOSQUITO INFESTED NIGHT

My time slowly ticking into the night
A time of rest, peace and relaxation
But deep thoughts about the night
Brings on deep shiver into my spirit
For in place of joy comes sadness
Another mosquito infested night.

Perpetual worry you bring to my sleep
Singing melodies of unknown tongues
Your burden you bring upon my ear
Like plague suffered by Pharaoh's house.

Your feast performed upon my blood
A thorn upon my flesh you pose
Injecting me in with cursed malady
To go shivering me on with malaria.

Constant anxiety you bring at night
Tormenting with fear and discomfort
An ongoing scourge of restlessness
Your affliction meted on me at night.

A pain in the neck you pose to be
With agony placed on sweet slumber
Bringing your menace upon my body
With laziness bestowed upon my soul.

A troublemaker you stand to prove
An oppressor of the highest order
What need is there to be of sleep?
With you tormenting my every move.

Oh! My time ticking on fast
Ticking fast right into the night
With these shivering thoughts
Riding straight across my mind
Another mosquito infested night.
