春咬 Spring Bites

A cute satire of a famous Chinese poem (春晓)...

春眠不觉晓
处处蚊子咬
打上敌敌畏
不知死多少

Two translations: the first is from babelfish, the second is from me:

Spring sleeps unconsciously understands
everywhere the mosquito to nip
gets the phosphate insecticide
not to know dies how many

Spring slumbers unconsciously understanding it is time to wake
Everywhere Everywhere one finds biting mosquitoes
We receive the insect poison
It is not known how much we will die.
