Moon Magic

What can cast a better spell for lovers

than a full moon over a calm lake?

To watch its beams charm the soul

quietly inhaling that special lunar magic.

 

One moment the sway of romance builds

visions of passionate kissed inflame the heart,

then when the wind soothed in serenity

while the moment tantalized with Cupid’s whispers,

suddenly a mosquito bite invaded the enchantment

that little sting so totally distracting to the will.

 

A slap, a swat and before long

this little insect had invited all his pals,

arms waving frantically in the air

in hopes of chasing them away,

only those little winged demons

wouldn’t be scared a way,

it was feast time and we were dinner!

 

So much for some evening attempts

at capturing romance in nature’s special haven,

too bad the darn bugs didn’t see it that way,

ended up running to the car

before rolling up the windows

all those lumps from being bitten

truly did ruin the thrills.

 

Back at the hotel

it was mosquitoes seven and humans zero,

watch Love Story for consolation prize

vowed to next time

just watch some movie about outdoors

let it be enough inspiration

without the risk of diving bomb

blood sucking creatures!
