African Mosquitoes Poem by Sumaila Mohammed Rashad

African mosquitoes have
Have the size of a grown man, s shoe
They have two heads joined with a screw

The big head is in the east,
While the least
Is where they themselves ease

Their brains are roofed by
Their buttocks;
And their thoughts clothed with socks.

They have rusted hearts
They have manicured faces.
They have no traces;
And are siphoning aces

African mosquitoes do not feed
On slices of blood
But a diet of revered dollar notes
Stewed with our frailly coins

African mosquitoes
Do not cause malaria
Lest they be belittled;
Dearth himself
Is their bedfellow.
