Amos Keeto buzzing round,
Sticking nose
In where he didn’t ought;
Ever whining, it is found,
And that shows
That he’s a nasty sort
Always wants to bleed you dry
He is such
A sneaky parasite,
And that is the reason why
Nothing much
Of what he does is right
What a total utter pest
Is his breed;
For him my only wish,
And what really would be best
To succeed,
Is seeing him go ‘Squish!’

Hehe – I’d like to squish a few here too 🙂

It fits most of them, and Kate and I have just agreed that it hardly needs modification to apply to the Brit ones as well.

Yes, most have similar characteristics. Odd, though, people know what it takes to be a politician, yet they still get voted into power and then wonder why they turn out the way they do – most of the time.
One wonders who is the more dense: Us or Them?

Us, indubitably.

If you want to see what a politician should be like then I recommend the film Dave’, with Kevin Kline. If you haven’t seen it its a must. A hoot and a heart warmer to boot.

Hi Col,
But would squsihing lead you to achieve what is upsetting you in the first place? Could your “whining” be due to chasing symptoms of a more fundamental malaise?

The whining emitted by these characters is part of a signature tune which misdirects attention from their own activities, and squishing some would certainly provide a disincentive to others to follow the same course. Of course, they are certainly symptoms of a greater maiaise, and seeking and purifying the foul ponds from which they emanate should be a priority.

Now: how could I adapt this for our Mr Cameron, Col?

From recent speeches and actions, and what has been happening to Nat Health and Education etc. lately, does it really need adapting?

Actually, probably not…

Being hard of hearing I don’t hear the mozzie and am only aware of his presence when OH starts thrashing around or I start itching. Awful little buggers!

Ag Col… it’s only a mozzie man!
Let her eat, she only takes a drop and then she’s off again 😉
Sometimes their noise lulls me to sleep at night – much prefer mozzie noise to the neighbour’s screaming rugrat!!

No, some 5000 could do it, but of course what makes them the deadliest insects on earth is their disease-transmitting propensity.

I still don’t have an issue with mozzies.
They have their job to do, same as everything else in the ecosystem – from which humans are completely removed.
LikeLike
No, humans are useful – to female mozzies as a source for their egg nutrients.

I’ve been lucky so far as not too many mozzies have been around.
Maybe the new gecko family is feeding on them.

Could be. It also helps if there aren’t any bits of stagnant water nearby.

Aw, poor mozzie, although I do know just how you feel. I find fans are rather good. You can still hear them buzzing but it’s quite hilarious when they hit the rush of the wind and the buzzing goes all chaotic.

Trouble is the politician mozzies thrive on fans – really stupid fans, that is … 🙂
