I wonder how long, you awful parasite
Shall share with me the little bed
And make me from sweet dreams be lost
By sucking blood from my poor head
I should but say man has much blood
Which you and your family do feed on,
For supper, dinner and lunch
And besides, you do in my bed breed
Clever thou art, tiny creature
You attend me when I am deep asleep,
When thou art sure I can’t capture thee
Just as time I snore deep
‘Tis so strange that before twilight,
The bed clear of you would seem,
Not one of you in my sight
As if your presence was in a dream ayinks
