Mosquito Smitten With Love

'Bear with harmonious lament' the Bad behaviour of this flighty football player, Who now is bent, like an intent gazelle, Over the sole and perilous well of life.

Rigged out in black-and-white striped jersey, Lewd arms projecting boldly from rolled sleeves, That shrilling voice quite still, whose own 'Harmonious lament' portends some bloody end.

Sleekly he straddles, lifts his smiling mouth, Then dribbles off to meet his loving match. One quick potation of Our threadbare blood Renders this game-cock potent, if not dead.
