Wasps
We have wasps! What a shock, oh, what terror!
Horrid pests in striped vests black and yellow.
Surely not! But alas, there’s no error;
Things with wings armed with stings – so I bellow
“Send for Kevin” he’ll deal with the creatures:
I can hear them! I fear them! Oh dearie!
They are fiends, with malevolent features;
I shall cower in the shower, sad and dreary,
Till the bold Kevin Cross on his charger
Rides apace to outface them. Thank heaven!
My relief couldn’t be any larger;
Their defeat is complete – thanks to Kevin.’
