A Mosquito Report

I am having such an industrious day this Saturday,

which is quite unusual for me.

I have even put up the last of my suitcases from

my recent travels.

(Please don't try to calculate how long it's been since

my return.)

I must, however, put my industriousness on hold

and give you news about my mosquito problem.

I would probably do that for sure if the news

were bad, but tremulously I tell you it is good.

(No exclamation point, because it could be

temporary.)

I have not been bitten in over a week.

For almost a week I have not spotted any flying

around after having seen them in every room 

while I was packing for one of my trips.
When I returned home, there
were 13 mosquito carcasses inside this zapper.

Since then--0!

I still am not using my front door.

I sleep every night (uncomfortably) under a 

fan which has a "low" setting like a hurricane.

I now "suit up" to sit in my recliner.

I put on long pajama pants, my long robe,

and knee length socks.

And I sit there, a sight to behold, in front of

another fan which has a "high" setting

like that of a light ocean breeze.

I may be applying for a bank loan to pay

ABC Pest Control for their services.

Wild horses could not force me to tell you

how much I have paid them for this reprieve.

And now...what do I do?
They are "willing!" to keep coming monthly
until October!
