No-See-Ums

There's just one reason why a screened-in porch becomes erected,
And that is so its occupants from bugs might be protected.
Yet there exist such tiny insects that cannot be seen,
And they are very capable of getting through a screen.


I've heard them called no-see-ums and that name is very apt.
I saw them not but felt them and it seemed like I was trapped;
For even though these little buggers stayed out of my sight,
They made their presence known with every never-ending bite.


I scratched all night as bumps appeared on each inch of my skin;
It was a battle that there was no way that I could win.
Those little critters left me feeling like one giant itch;
I guess that Mother Nature sometimes sure can be a bitch!
