Premium Member Mud Daubers Unwelcome

Hornets came flying in from all directions
Skidding to a stop, showing no kinds of affections. 

They filled the kitchen, they filled the hall.
The wasps joined them and had a ball.

The mud daubers heard and tried to crash.
Which was truly pushy and rather rash.

A fight ensued, they stung each other almost to death.
I heard this account from my curious cousin Beth.

Premium Member Attracted To the Porch

beautiful garden attracts flying beasts
butterflies, dragonflies, luna moths
Some of them spill onto the porch
Where they nest inside the wood
railings are dangerous
deep inside are perched
flower loving
mud dabbers
hornets
wasps

Dipple Dabbers

Advertising has us in it's wrappers
here's the bad stuff ~ here the clappers,
it seems the product needs the jabbers
like a potato chip ~ the grabber!

but for the quaintness of the blabbers
I could not focus ~ or react thus
now here's a cute phrase ~ DIPPLE DABBERS
they're not like "p r i n g l e s" ~

They're just "ADAPTERS"!



Note ~  Hi Mark Pringle (our poetic benefactor) Had to say something that could
separate the wimps from the "snappers!"
