Something about the tone of your description of events makes me think that you're not expecting to read a heart-string tugging story about the family of the wasp that never returned home... which is probably good since I'm not sure I could write such a thing with a straight face. I hope the sting doesn't itch too much!
Something that stings To the wasp today That made its way To my big toe To say hello I feel I should apologise.
It's just, you see, You startled me. I didn't mean To cause a scene And leap and swat and... scream.
And so I must extend Condolences to all your friends I'm very, very sorry that I squashed you oh so very flat And didn't think to say hello.
Greg - oh, the sting itched too much. So, so too much.
Also I think now I could appreciate a tale like that. Certainly couldn't have during the week that followed.
Well. Still wouldn't *write* something like this, but at least I don't feel like tracking you down and locking you in a room with a hive of angry wasps.
Huh, apparently the term for a group of wasps can be either swarm or nest. So... that's something.
