Warning Signs & Sounds Of House Invasion comical poem number 600 by Angela Lansbury



They weren't properly protected

By their good health nor their paper wealth

When they left their window open

And it entered their home by stealth 


The thought it's good to breahe fresh air

But wikedness just does not care


The intruder made scary noise

First noise then silence warned of doom

In fear they tensed there's no escape

The threaat was inside their bedroom


A high sound whizzed right past their ear

Warned them that it was poised to strike

Unseen a sound they recognized

Which broke the calm of balmy night


When a sudden sound wakes you up

Even the must trusting soul knows

Tha ominous horrible whine

Of deadly landing mosuitos


They're in Thailand, your land, my land

USA, UK, an Aussie

Drops dengue and Malaria

Nobody wise loves a mossie


Warning, shut your bedroom window

Unless you've bought protective net

Before you turn on bedroom lights

Light beckons insects, don't forget


Some buy and apply repellent

Citronella, many brands, deet

Or install flyscrees on windows

Before wou and mosquitos meet


Just one can strike you anywhere

On fingers, legs, body and toes

So be prepared to fight them off

The near enemy's mosquitos.
