Geoff the mosquito
was thinking & thinking
while he was buzzing
& while he was drinking

thinking while buzzing
came naturally to him
thinking while drinking
was something that drew him

"People despise me"
Geoff had observed
"Can I disguise me?"
he was strong-nerved

Geoff did his best
to pose as a fly
but biting (not buzzing)
uncovered the lie

although he could buzz
with a fly-like expression
his biting delivered
a mosquito impression

any who looked at
that fly-sounding squeet
never mistook him
nor thought the ruse sweet

Still there were times
when his flyish locution
fuddled the minds
in a trice of confusion

After a while
he gave up the thought
his effort was worthy
though coming to naught

Geoff was intelligent
he pondered things deeply
lessons of living
are never won cheaply

Many a time
he nearly got squished
squeet life is dangerous
& nobody's wished

who's reached the domain
of human embodiment
to return to the pain
of mosquito predicament

Later when Geoff
would be born as a fish
he'd abandon all buzzing
& swim with a swish!
