That tell tale buzz as it passes my ear
That warning sound so loud and clear
All of my thoughts now on alert
As from my dreams I must avert
For the night has brought a challenge

The coffee is made and I must stay awake
To see who will win and seal their fate
I’ve got out my sprays and douse all down
But still there is that buzzing all around
For the night has brought a challenge

Now here comes that itch from who knows where
As I scratch with abandon not giving a care
I’m not even bitten not even a bite
But I just know this will be a long night
For the night has brought a challenge

Soon the cracks of dawn will appear
As the forthcoming day will quickly draw near
But this war in my room has become so intense
As I try to build up my sleepy defense
For the night has brought a challenge

But heaven knows I’ve just nodded off
And I fear that my battle it has been lost
For there upon my favourite toe
Is a tell tale sign I’ve come to know
Dear God I think I’ve been bitten.
