The Louse and The Mosquito

One night when Tim went to bed,
As he laid down his head,
A louse jumped down from his hair,
Even though the shampoo had said ‘All Clear’
He hopped down from the pillow
And greeted the bedbugs with a hello
Until one bug begged his pardon
“Sir, why are you heading towards the garden?”
“I’m visiting my cousin you see”,
Said the louse jumping with glee.

Once he reached the window ledge
A voice came out from the garden hedge
“I’m here cousin, come right down”,
Said a mosquito with a big frown
“Why are you so depressed?
You sound as if you are stressed.”
The louse came down to the twig
And saw his cousin’s family ,ever so big.

The two old mosquitas and their mosquities,
On the bed eating old worn cheese
Four little moskits running around
And a fifth one, which had, fell on the ground
The cousin’s wife was standing in front
And told her husband with a grunt
“You and your cousin alore,
If they are coming, tell me before!
You know we’re poor and the blood stocks are flat
Ever since Timmy got that wretched mosquito mat”
“That would explain the frowns on your faces”
said the louse and tightened his laces.

“Come brother mosquito let us go”
The louse jumped ahead and the mosquito flew
They both reached the wall and then they saw
The wall was cracked it had a flaw
The louse had taken a glowworm along
And saw where things had really gone wrong
The vapourizer was under the bed with a switch
T’was the mosquito’s problem the big HITCH

The louse leaped towards the socket
And took out a wire from his pocket
He short-circuited the whole house
He sure was a clever louse
The mat had lost its utility
The mosquito yelled “Fiddle-de-Dee!!”
They both sucked blood out of Tim
And filled their reserves up to the brim
The louse and the mosquito lived happily ever after
In their houses was now bubbly laughter
They both said, “With every drop we suck
We wish the humans some engineering luck!!”
