It hurt so much
when you put your stinger in me -
repeatedly.
You made me jump and
wiggle and move
like I never moved before.
You left your mark on me and
I couldn’t forget you for days afterward.
I finally accepted you and
found you could not stand against
a can of Raid.
Errr, yes, right. Fair enough. Think I'll come back later then eh?
ReplyDeleteOh, man up, and don't be such a chicken. =)
DeleteUm...Vanessa?
ReplyDeleteYou just made me wiggle and jump.
I'll just have to put the ole stinger away for now.
And it was ready!

Thanks for playing, thanks for the cheap thrill,

I wish I got to see that wiggle and jump.
Deleteha. this year it is spiders and not the bees that infesting...and while i usually just try to move them....i took the can to them this year as i had a whole nest of rather large spiders....
ReplyDeleteWe usually leave things be (he, he) but they were in the holly tree my husband has to take down and they attacked him when he cut down some branches. I haven't seen him move that fast in years.
DeleteMade me smile--a very apt description--in so many ways. ;_)
ReplyDeleteIt's fun being naughty.
DeleteTheir stings are very painful. I had one sting me under the arm once when I was watching a football game at the college where my father was employed. It's something I've never forgotten.
ReplyDeleteI guess this is a bee and not a wasp on second look. When I was growing up in New Mexico, our neighbor kept bees. I was constantly getting stung. It's a damn good thing I'm not allergic like my late grandmother was. I might not be here today to scare and annoy everyone by having the utter temerity to exist.
Our exterminator friend said they are hornets.
DeleteYou don't scare or annoy me and I hope you continue to exist, temerity and all.
Ouch! Nasty buggers. Why can't they just leave us alone? Yeah, Raid is my friend, too. :)
ReplyDeleteThey're not nearly as "Live and Let Live" as we are.
DeleteHeheh - it is fun being naughty, and you do it so well!
ReplyDeleteI love double entendres.
DeleteNice composition, I hope that does not put the sting on me!
ReplyDeleteOnly in a good way.
DeleteI don't like real stingers but appreciate the undertones as well ~ Good one ~
ReplyDeleteThe real ones a re no fun at all.
DeleteI think 'man up' is not a bad double entrende in itself.
ReplyDelete:)
Along that vein, I always felt 'man down' to be a double tragedy.
DeleteWow, great shot and poignant poem to accompany it.
ReplyDeleteIt's something that has stuck with me.
DeleteWisdom earned through pain, eh?

As we learn most of the important lessons in life.
DeleteOh, those hard lessons in life. Sometimes I'm a slow learner.
ReplyDeleteMe, too.
Deletehornets... so not worth messing with and yes... not the kind of jump & wiggle that leaves good memories!
