Intruder
Announcing its presence it snook in above,
through a window that I'd left ajar,
no time get up and give it a good shove
to close it, the distance was too far.
I was in no position to choose 'fight or flight',
my options were cut down to just one,
that was sit very still ( I had some time to kill)
and then make a move when it had gone.
When it comes down to fear, and I'll make this quite clear
things that fill me with terror are few,
but one of those things is being stung by a wasp
when halfway through a sit on the loo.
