Lazily Lay Two Yellow Jackets

The two yellow jackets lazily lay Upon the chilled turnip leaf This November autumnial day Waiting to be warmed in the noon day sun Maybe they're in love hoping above hope To be spared many eggs somewhere to lay New life to come next spring_ summer in scope Sometimes yellow jackets mix in raked hay Where their nest was disturbed on a fall eve By tractors with blades that cut luscious grass Then are caught in spinning baler in weave That makes them so mad they come out fighting Two yellow jackets lazily lay waiting Glad there is a chance for them this day_mating

Hey, a cute little mating sonnet there, Sara. You are very clever with your topics. Loved that line, "they come out fighting mad" They sure do!! Luv, Andrea
