My pet wasp is called Sunny Jim I captured this pet on a whim He got out his stinger And stung my friend’s finger Pal Susie just cannot stand him! Poor Susie lets out a loud howl As Sunny Jim’s still on the prowl I cannot deny My 'pet' needs to die … I smothered wasp Jim with a towel Inspired by a crazy challenge set by an on line pal .. to write a poem about a pet wasp! 07/04/21

Ha!! this is cute, jan. I am sure you will come up with something for the elemental contest. I think he wanted all three elements mentioned, so that is all you need to try for (unless I got that wrong) well, finally I am caught up here. now to get back to my food storage project. I have a ton of stuff to organize before Natalyn comes to spend the night!!

Hello Jan … You’d make a fortune Jan if you wrote a book on how to tame a wasp. I can tame them, but it’s with fly spray - thanks Jan - Lindsay

Jan, very funny indeed as are the comments and poem in the comments . The people love their animals and it's risky to even think of hurting one. So, you have talent and courage!

I like the creativeness of this one. Way to go. You could have fed him to your owl. Enjoyed reading this one. Sara

Once there was a wee wasp that Jan named Sunny Jim/When he stung her friend's finger, twas the end of him/I filed a PETA complaint/In a voice without restraint/ Jan cried out, "I'll get you, Jenna. Your future's grim!"

I'm thinking of making a call to PETA on you.

You certainly come up with some good ones Jan, and the wasp will get no sympathy from me, your a gentle soul just smothering him, my method is a little more crude lol, great imagination, cheers David
