A sharp crescent fined to a point like a needle adorned with black and yellow stripes

A painful venom pumped through the pipes and pierces skin like a knife 

Turns the skin red and bulbous

The Wasp is one of nature’s most horrendous pests  

Trapped where he shouldn’t be 

I caught a wasp stuck inside with me 

Peering out my window, wanting to be free

Obviously I was quick to react fearfully 

However that I overcame stoically

It was just a young boy 

Trapped where he shouldn’t be 

I took the doorknob below the window he rest

And an opportunity was offered to the pest 

But on the glass he rest 

Peering to the mountainous west 

The door was open yet he would detest 

There is no way he’d fly back to his nest

Though he did not accept my kindness 

I strive to be my best

So I’d force him from his stubbornness 

Knowing he would not leave, I could trick him into being freed 

A wasp isn’t easy to lead

Words couldn’t work, no matter what I plead

This stubborn pest was to impede 

Which was his misdeed 

Trapping the wasp in a drinking glass 

With a paper I slid under fast 

A casing he couldn’t pass 

It was only temporary 

Though the wasp thought it was scary 

I took him outside with me 

And that’s where our lesson begins 

I placed the glass right side up

The wasp could fly free from the cup

But there he stayed, attempting to wind me up

Now his freedom was set up but his stubbornness wouldn’t let up 

While he lay in the glass I attempt to shake it

But the wasp stayed in its cockpit 

Instead of flying away like an angelic pilot 

Using the wings that God permit 

Soon the wasp began to crawl 

And I almost ended it all 

My fear not gone but small

But the wasp through it a curve ball 

Then it grew tall

Dropping the glass I was holding in cowardice

Something that was pure foolishness 

Soon under the cup the wasp was squished 

And to my surprise I believe I had killed trying to be nice
