Mosquitoes buzz by; the females thirsty for a fresh sip of human blood They pick a vulnerable target, gathering around a wailing baby and dive straight for the soft and tender skin of the newborn SQUAT! The protective mother shoos the pesky creatures away before there is a chance for contact In the meadow, bullfrogs croak a discordant tune while lively crickets chirp their harmonious melody A soft breeze pushes the tall reed stalks to and fro in the boggy water A celestial body emits a glowing radiance upon the delicate earthen ground On the wooden verandah, Grandpa's rocking chair creaks continuously A mild snore floats from a sleeping body It rests on a swaying hammock, slung between two peach trees The hum of women's voices drifts gently away Girls hush as a startling secret is revealed in a traditional game of "Truth or Dare" Little boys roll about in the wet grass and their laughter echoes in the distance The drone of an electric fan is stifled by the serene activities of country men The chinks of cool beer mugs ring through the air
