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.

Sotto Poet Date: 6/6/2022 5:34:00 AM Very nicely humouristic penned Limerick. Although we must be aware that those insects could have a dangerous sting sometimes:) Kindest regards Dear Sara Login to Reply Sara Kendrick Date: 6/6/2022 9:06:00 AM 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

Victor Buhagiar Date: 6/5/2022 9:54:00 AM One must be careful of these insects. Login to Reply Sara Kendrick Date: 6/5/2022 2:06:00 PM Victor, It seems they nest in the strangest places. Your visits delight me. Sara

Jenna Logan Date: 6/5/2022 9:21:00 AM That'd be a bit scare for me, too! Login to Reply Sara Kendrick Date: 6/5/2022 2:06:00 PM 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
