Topic: Camping (07/11/05)
Dainty, floating in the sky
They dance and flit, flying way up high
Tiny, little, teensy toes
Oh, how I love my mosquitos!

A camping trip? Oh what a dream!
(I think I might have guessed the theme)
With God's tiny creation on my mind
I'll see how many I can find

Stepping out into the trees
I've got bare arms, and legs, and knees
Tiny, little, teensy toes
Oh, how I love my mosquitos!

A sleeping bag under God's starry skies
Is all I need to have friends nearby
The little guys are quick as can be
They've already almost covered me

Too warm for a blanket, I lay down
And watch them swarming all around
Tiny, little, teensy toes
Oh how I love my mosquitos!

Oh how I love to scratch the spots
Where they have bitten lots and lots
This camping trip is so much fun
I'll hate to leave when it is done

I thank God for my little insect friends
But I'm afraid this night is at an end
Tiny, little, teensy toes
Oh how I love my mosquitos!

Now, that was a fun way to make something little mean and nasty sound like a household pet. (LOL)

Very cute. I'm looking at one bite the size of a dime on my arm as I write this and all I can say is - you're more forgiving than I am!

As a veteran of several camping experiences, I can say I never looked at mosquitoes in this way. I liked the repeating thought "Tiny, little, teensy toes"; it accurately expresses the feeling of the skin during a mosquito attack. I guess the bites are one momento you can bring home, but they don't last (thankfully!) You did a wonderful job!

:) Very cute. I worked at a church camp one summer and one of my campers slept with a grand-daddy longlegs in her sleeping bag to keep the mosquitos away -seemed to work, she didn't get bit!

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Your poem tells me that God can and does love me.

This poem is so awesome I think that you should be paid just for people reading it so many times... $1/reading... you'd be rich!

UP TILL NOW, I've always wandered WHY OH WHY did Noah allow Mosquitos on the Ark. It must've been so you'd write this poem.
