The Intelligence of Wasps

The wasps are back in full force commandeering my porch They do this yearly They buzz my ears terrorizing me trying to chase me back into the house so they can have the porch for themselves I paid for the porch not completely, but I am still paying for it. not the wasps I look at the can of wasp spray which two of the wasps are examining One on each side They are possibly much more intelligent than I.

LOL! Flies are smart too. Nobody can convince me they aren't!

I know they must be. All flying things are intelligent is my feeling.

Wasps are intelligent...they come back for their laughter dose.....seems they too enjoy your sense of humour thoroughly:)

They like me; buzzing my ears, but do not usually sting me. Choosing instead to taunt me as they prance around on the wasp spray can.

This was funny. They have chased me away more than a few times. My husband keeps their nests at bay for me. xxoo

We both try in vain to keep them away, but I have three enormous flower gardens and flowering bushes and trees so they are here in full force.

Caren, I love this poem. I was always scared of wasps. They look intelligent enough.

I believe they are sent by the cosmos to taunt me and "keep me on my tippy toes".
