MOZZIES
These mozzies won’t listen to reason
when told that they’re not welcome here
With all of this new global warming
it’s tropical diseases I fear!
It used to be just the odd nibble
a swelling that itched or was sore
but with all of this new global warming
there’s hillocks and mountains and more
I’ve been eaten alive by the beasties
they sneak everywhere on my skin
They pause, then they bite, then they suckle
and I didn’t say they could come in
With all of this new global warming
I fear I’m condemned to succumb
Well, would you believe what just happened
I’ve been bitten all over my bum!
I may have to voluntarily admit myself to some sort of clinic!
On checking the number of the previous Rapid rhyme, in order to number this one, I find that #11 also featured the word “bum”. Not only that, but Lundi limerick #48, and #49 also had bums in them!
Do I need help, or is this just a feature of getting older?
Peter's pondering 
No, it’s a feature of your brain being addled by mozzies. Join the club.

I’ve always been a mozzie target but this year seems far worse, and my normal defences don’t seem to be working.

I’m also a mozzie magnet, so I empathize!

Maybe don’t leave your bum out there for mozzie attacks. There’s a reason my part of the world, Winnipeg, is not a popular nudist camping spot!

I know that there is a reason for everything. I haven’t yet discovered the reason for mosquitoes! (other than to deter nudism in Winnipeg)

Maybe you could switch it up a bit and start using buttocks, butt cheeks or rump instead of bum.

Oh, no, I’m British. I couldn’t possibly!

They tend to go for me too, not much fun is it?
