THE MAID AND THE MOSQUITO.

Maud Muller on summer night
Closed the blinds and doused the
light;
Speedily DOTTED her lingerie
And then to the Ostermoor went she.
As she was doing off to sleep
A mosquito tickled her on the feet
She kicked the insect Off her toes.
But 1t speedily alighted on her nose
She kicked and raved and cursed and
swore.
But the 'skeeter bit her all the more.
She could no longer stay in bed,
So she sat all night in a chair instead.
Mosquitoes flying through the air
Swarmed in myriads around her chair
Where Maud's lingerie was thin
The 'skeeter soused his long bill in.
When morning dawned on the sleepy
maid,
The insect bites were all portrayed.
On Maudies fair and radiant skin
Were knots like corrugated tin.
But Maudie said with faith sublime
IT won't be long till summer time.
"And then the skeeters all must go
And can entertain my beau.
free from shame and deep chagrin
From bug bites IN my lovely skin.
L.Enyoi.
Alb, well for US some sweet hope Hes
Deeply buried from human eyes.
And IN the hereafter Maudie may
7ron bug bites on my lovely skin.
