Pesky Pet - Humour Warning

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!

Andrea Dietrich July 7, 2021 at 12:40 PM 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!!

Lindsay Laurie July 6, 2021 at 5:05 PM 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

Duke Beaufort July 6, 2021 at 3:22 PM 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!

Sara Kendrick July 6, 2021 at 5:21 AM I like the creativeness of this one. Way to go. You could have fed him to your owl. Enjoyed reading this one. Sara

Quoth Theraven July 5, 2021 at 11:30 AM Jan, Loved your Limerick in humour with a pesky pet warning. Sunny Jim, yes! -Richard

Jenna Logan July 5, 2021 at 7:42 AM 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!"

Jenna Logan July 5, 2021 at 7:28 AM I'm thinking of making a call to PETA on you.
