Poem: Mosquito

O Mrs. Mosquito, quit biting me please!
I'm happy my blood type with your type agrees.
     I'm glad that my flavor
     Has met with your favor.
     I'm touched by your care,
     Yes, I'm touched everywhere.
On my arms and my legs, on my elbows and knees,
     Till I cannot tell which
     Is the itchiest itch
     Needs the scratchiest scratch.
Your taste for my taste is the reason for these,
So Mrs. Mosquito, quit biting me, please!
