Maurice was a mighty mozzie
He made many tremble with fear
His favourite trick was to dive real quick
And land in someone's ear.
On a hot dark night he would love to bite
Poor folk as they lay sleeping
But made a mistake when he nibbled Aunt Kate
Cos she'd drunk all the sherry that evening.
Well he felt real crook as he stepped on the book
Which Aunt Kate had been reading
But she woke with a start when the dog did a fart
Now Maurice is doing the reading!
