Mosquito Lou
Mosquito Lou saw what he saw
Through the grass, through the straw
Outside the woods where the critters dwell
Mosquito Lou buzzed and flew
From his pond to say what he knew
Something he had to tell
He went to tell the turkey
But the turkey would swing and swat the closer he got
Chased him out of the way
He flew up to the ear of the woodland deer
But the woodland deer didn’t want to hear
What a mosquito has to say
Went up to the eagle in the eagles nest
But the eagle squaked and called him a pest
And gave him an eagle smack
He went to the rabbit that came out his den
But when the rabbit saw, that’s just when
He turned around and went back
The grizzly bear told him to shew
When he buzzed in his ear to say what he knew
The monkeys did the same
Mosquito Lou would scream and shout
But none of the beasts would hear him out
They brushed him off the closer he came
So…
Mosquito Lou buzzed back to his pond
Outside of the trees, just beyond
There where the woods begin
He flew out, he flew out fast
As he flew out, he flew just past
The hunters heading in
The critters were wrong, the critters were rude
But they didn’t deserve to be someone’s food….
They didn’t deserve to die
So Mosquito Lou flew, with no time to spare
To warn those hunters that they should beware
They just smacked him down as he flew by
Soon, the treetops echoed with screams and howls
There were bangs and pops, screeches and growls
Troubling sounds that were scary and grim
Mosquito Lou knew there was only one way
To save all the critters being hunted that day
And he knew it was up to him
Mosquito Lou went to Mosquito Bob
Mosquito Bob gathered a mosquito mob
They went from one to two to quite a few
Mosquitos got the bees and the bees got the tick
The tick called more pests that bite and prick
Soon Mosquito Lou had his own crew
Meanwhile…..
Bear jumped in rabbit’s hole, trying to hide
Monkeys grabbed the eagle to catch a ride
But the monkeys were too heavy to lift
Eagle went down as he tried to escape
Falling through spider webs as sticky as tape
Until he was wrapped like a gift
Rabbit jumped under the deer
But the woodland deer was so full of fear
He started dropping droppings
So rabbit screamed and then he fled
Straight to the river with droppings on his head
To clean off those dropping toppings
With hunters in sight, Turkey was full of fright
So he climbed a pine tree and held it tight
In the gluey sap, his feathers got stuck
When the hunters got close, he was so afraid
He pulled away, but his feathers stayed
Plucked out in one big pluck
The hunters were coming from each direction
Leading the critters to a certain section
A section of the woods where they’d be trapped
As the critters watched those hunters coming
They shivered and shook, their hearts were drumming
Bushes rustled and branches snapped
The hunters approached, and as they were nearing
They walked past the brush into the clearing
Past the last of the sticks, the last of the trees
When they made it through, there flew Mosquito Lou
Mosquito Lou and his entire crew
Mosquitos and gnats, ticks and bees
Instead of the critters they were looking to find
There was a cloud of pests of the worst kind
A pesky, angry, munchy bunch
Together as a swarm with perfect form
Bugs rained on the hunters in an insect storm
And started eating them as their lunch
Ticks bombed from the sticks, bees struck like torpedoes
Those hunters got pricks from 1000 mosquitos
While poison oaked grabbed up from the ground
Buried in bugs from their toes to their head
The Hunters were seized, so the critters fled
They fled back to the woods, safe and sound
The forest hummed, the forest was fizzy
The forest buzzed with the bugs so busy
Mosquitos whizzed, the bees were bumbling
The hunters could barely stand on their feet
Like giant ragdolls, made out of meat
They tried to escape, tripping and stumbling
Through the woods, the hunters ran for their lives
Turning puffy and red, swelling up with hives
Floundering along as they screamed and grunted
Out from those woods, the hunters raced
As Mosquito Lou’s crew followed and chased
The hunters became the hunted
The hunters never returned after that morning
If they had listened to Mosquito Lou’s warning
They would have been alright
The hunters didn’t consider, they didn’t expect
A little mosquito with woods to protect…
Mosquito Lou, the woodland knight.
