An Italian Mosquito
By Katanga
12 May 2008

This is a light response to Josie's excellent work, 'The Tiger Asian Mosquito'.


I haven't come across any limericks on GW - so sorry if I'm lowering the tone!

Ha! Ha!

An Italian Mosquito

My Italian girlfriend, Valeria
Gave me more than a dose of malaria
A fly in her ointment?
Such disappointment!
I wish I'd gone to Bavaria.

Drat - pushed the wrong button again. 
 
Yes, Fled, I feel a serious series coming on, interspersed with beetle mania in the shildren's section - beware! 
 
Mind you, I've got jury service next week, so I may have to cool off . . . Or even heat up?! 
 
e.g. Hickory dickory clock 
 
A man was in the dock 
 
ad nauseam! Ho! 
 
Cheers!
