Pax Pax Pax

 

 

Pax! Pax! Pax!

Is all I hearing

From two people in my house

And war they declaring.

 

War pun a little insect

Flying bout de place

Knocking round your feet

And all in your face.

 

Having no regard

For its life or limb

But having a fun time,

Light bright or dim.

 

 

  

Full of blood

And they flying real low

And watch the unladen ones

Swiftly go.

 

Pax! Pax! Pax!

De zapper working good,

Got another fella

And he full of blood.

 

A declaration of war

On these terrible insects,

So extremely irritating

And getting we vex.

 

And they smelling bad,

I mean real bad,

This night is the worse night

We’ve ever had.

 

“Water somewhere”

I hear somebody say

But what do they expect?

So much rain bout hey.

 

How these tiny things

Could be such a mess!

Mosquitoes are definitely

An annoying pest.

 

Pax! Pax! Pax!

Hear the zapper go!

A couple mosquitoes gone

That’s how I know.
