Notes About The Poem

Image result for pictures of strange places hornets build nests

The Hornet

There once was a hornet who tried To build a strange straw nest inside As soon as grass was cut He'd bring to his little hut To spruce up, but on water he rides
He tried to build his nest inside the curved spout of my plastic watering can. The first time I tried to use it after he started building, I got a shock when he flew out.

Very nicely humouristic penned Limerick. Although we must be aware that those insects could have a dangerous sting sometimes:) Kindest regards Dear Sara

Sotto, I do not react very well to insect bites and stings but not had a severe allergic reaction thank God for that. I am glad he went away from me. Your visit and comments always encourage. Sara

I agree, Kim. I am glad he flew away in the opposite direction, and I was not threatened by him. Thanks for the visit. Sara

Jenna, Thanks for the visit. I was more shocked than scared because I did not have time to think about what it was before he was gone. I have been stung twice by hornets and it is no fun. Sara
