Mosquito Bites

I must be really sweet because

Mosquitoes seek me out.

The same’s not true for bees, whose stings

I’ll gladly do without.

 

I rarely see the biter

But of course, I feel the itch

Which sometimes lasts a week or more,

Another aging glitch.

 

A skeeter bite annoys me.

As a nuisance, none can match it

Though there’s great relief in doing

What I shouldn’t, which is scratch it!
