This is a poem I wrote in 2010. I imagine all of my poetry set to music but I am rarely able to come up with tunes of my own. This one I imagine set to the tune of Barracuda by Heart. run, run, as fast as you can you can't catch me i'm the gingerbread man i'm hunted in daytime i'm hunted at night i'm hunted by smell i'm hunted by sight i run as hard as i can until i ache to the core i turn the corner only to find fifteen more winged demons from hell bring kisses of death relentless pursuers tracking the warmth of my breath riding my back they bring me down all the while singing with that distinctive sound Aaaaaaaaaaah-Mosquito! candles can't stop them neither can sprays one hundred preists can't make them go away finally swat one there's two more in its place they're tricky and sneaky make you swat your own face they won't give up until you're totally dry they won't give up until you finally die it doesn't take much of a spine they don't need one to make you lose your mind Aaaaaaaaaaah-Mosquito! Aaaaaaaaaaah-Mosquito!
