WASP!

I don't like wasps.

The wasp is a malicious creature,

Who has not one redeeming feature,

He’ll sting you without reason.

Autumn is his busiest time,

He’s drunk on wind-fall apple wine,

It is his favourite season.

 

He wears a black and yellow vest,

That vicious, beastly, spiteful pest!

He thinks he looks so cute.

But evil deeds are on his mind,

His intentions are all unkind,

The foul, sadistic brute.

And when you picnic in the park,

He’ll go along, just for a lark,

To hover round the bin.

Then when you take your litter there,

He’ll sting your hand without a care,

Just as you drop it in.

 

Mid-winter is the safest time.

I’ll go outdoors, and feel sublime,

For Waspie is not there.

But when the springtime comes around,

The air fills with his buzzing sound...

I THINK HE’S IN MY HAIR!

Here, in New Zealand, we've inadvertently imported some of the wasps from Europe. One nest in the 'back-country measured 14 meters wide. You certainly wouldn't want to be eating jam sandwiches in that vicinity.

Nasty creatures - they have no useful purpose as far as I can see!

[Cassie]

The wasps sting is very very painful

[Viv Wade]

I haven't yet been stung by a wasp, but it's not for the want of them trying!

[Samuel Dickens]

Another fun one... well, as much fun as can be had when telling about a wasp! We have a lot of those demons here in the south, and none of them are my friends.

Thanks Sam. I think wasps are the devil's representative on earth, and they are slowly taking over the world! :)
