An Interview with a Mosquito

Most of us find ourselves at the mercy of mosquitoes. We try every single way to rid ourselves of these pests that create a frenzy but we hardly win. I have suffered from serious bouts of a mosquito riddled illness and know many who have fallen prey to these bloodsuckers. Here is a tongue in cheek 'interview' with the queen mosquito which goes like this.


Mosquito, mosquito how have you been?
Buzzing around my friend across the stream
Dengue, Chikungunya and Malaria I spread
This bloodsucker sure knows how to use his head.

These human try to get rid of me
They do not know that we are an army and we are free
We spread panic from one country to the next
They try to rid themselves of us, try they do
We mosquitoes are here to stay folks, boohoo!

Gadgets, sticks or that terrible spray
The swing of the battery device does not shy us away
We have pride of place accept us we pray
We are a frat pack you can do us no harm
Let us hang out we will bring out the charm.

Peck and stay on your skin for our daily dose
What makes you think we need to change our course?
Hey people, didn’t you hear the buzz?
We, mosquitoes are here to stay, let us keep you happy as we sing our way.

Quintessential pests are we
Fogging some of us may set you free
Our family and friends done away in a brainless swoop
We will come back with another coup.

We hunt in droves day and night
To find the next person who will let us bite
As a species, we spread our love
Larvae and babies by the thousands, a drove
The human race has a clear chip
We, the underdogs have drawn our whips.

Settling down in a quiet abode, we need
We will win the race we have the speed
The relationship between these mortals and us
Remains on point from dawn to dusk

If they want us gone, they have to do their best
We have made our mark the bins do the rest
Flies, ants, fleas and friendly pests too
Cannot fathom the havoc we incite and we do.

These humans scurry around here and there
They try to get the upper hand, perhaps they just may
Until they zap away our chance for survival
It may be time for a new arrival
We remain their allies every part of the day
Buzz, buzz, buzz guys we want to stay!


End of the interview.

Will We Change?

The tears, sorrow and pain on His face we ignore Pretense with - that’s a picture, are you so sure? Nonchalance is the stand that we take When will we change and stop this act of fake? He was born to a simple innocent virgin called Mary And His foster father Joseph a poor carpenter Something that we could never ever do It is so difficult because we so love this zoo! At the chosen time when he gathered His disciples together to join Him By His example they embraced His commandment When questioned about this by the learned many He simply replied 'love one another' is the best of plenty. Joining the people, scholars and clergy at a general place He taught them simple parables many did not embrace The idea was to get Him out of the way To pave a road to riches and make their day. They plotted and planned and chose the easiest betrayer Who kissed Jesus his Master, The Savior Thirty pieces of silver was their solution The end result a conscience - a rope so in...

Narrow Path

When I look at your arms on the cross stretched wide Your eyes filled with love encouraging us to drop the divide But no matter which way we trudge You love everyone without even the slightest grudge. Temptations all around enticing us with its wares How do we ignore these pangs and stop its glares? Many ridicule us because of the road we follow Help us set an example and travel the path of straight and narrow.

Beginning of the End?

A short story here... Just read and let me know what you think? I haven't concluded the story just going with the flow. The erratic nature of the power supply left the entire city in the lurch and this seemed to be a frequent occurrence. In spite of pleadings to curb global warming people paid no heed to the warnings and this brought about the swarm …. The beginning was when the entire country was wiped out in darkness and stampedes all over going on well into the night. Headlights of passing vehicles were the only source of light as generators were giving way because of the scarcity of fuel available. Every living being was being held hostage because of the “no power and no water” adage. No rainfall = less electricity = no water = no produce = malnutrition. The crops were in a mess, pets were getting crazed, and livestock was dropping dead by the minute. Drought was at an all time high. Neighboring countries pitched in, but this deluge was gaining momentum across cou...

Cheating

Why do people throw good relationships for a quick roll in the hay? This practice seems to be growing and practically every second person in a committed relationship doesn’t think twice about two timing his/her partner. However, when they are “found out” these individuals don’t think twice about promising the moon and once forgiven you can be pretty sure that they are gonna do (sic) the deed again and again. I think that once they go the entire hog, they just aren’t gonna curb their enthusiasm! Cheaters know their partners will relent no matter what. They preen themselves with having “won”! However, if a person cheats on me, I would tell the jerk to beat it. Rather be single, keep your dignity intact than stick with some douche bag. Not my cuppa … What about you my lovelies?

Remote Rehab Watchers

What really annoys the sibling, are the soaps and serials I’m hooked onto. She’s like ‘why can’t you watch something informative instead of the usual jazz’ that I (supposedly) watch. What can I say - I’m a couch potato and love the title. She waits for a while and once she notices I am away from the remote she pounces and grabs it. I was too slow for that one! I hate this situation. Makes me feel so helpless, but I have to stay put otherwise you know the drill. She’ll fight and I will retort and cold shoulder treatment for a while. The poor sucker (the remote here) will have to face the wrath. I placate myself with the ‘anyway we have another television’ so I rush towards it and see the remote in the hands of the other sibling. I never win! But I have a new idea I will hide the remotes so that they don’t put me in this situation ever again. I wait for a suitable opportunity and hide them only feel two pairs of eyes watching me (like hawks). Why people are so sexist with the ...
