I Give You : The Wasp

The Wasp The Wasp;

Whats the Point of the Wasp?

It arrives every Summer at a Maddening cost.

The Picnic is planned like a Military Campaign,

Salad, Fruits and a little Champagne.

When out from the Skies like a Kamikaze of old:

A Squadron of Wasps with their Hell to unfold.

Panic sets in as the Swarm now invade;

Like a day-out in Egypt when God sent the Plaque.

So you\'re Swatting away like someone insane;

Like King Kong in that film being attacked by the Planes.

The Wasp The Wasp;

What\'s the point of the Wasp?

 

With the Girl of your Dreams you\'re out for a walk,

Then She whispers desires of a Sexual Sort.

Oh yes Virginia there is a Saint Nick,

All Birthdays at once so we\'d better be quick.

And just at the point where you\'re getting Steamed-up;

Like \'Chatterley and Mellors\' in that infamous Book;

Along comes a Wasp and he\'s brought all his friends;

And it\'s \'Coitus Interruptus\' or much in that trend.

You both start to flee as the attack seems to grow,

And She\'s like Hedy Lamarr in that scene long ago.

There\'s Ramblers Ahoy so you now not alone;

And they getting it all on the Obligatory phone.

The Wasp The Wasp;

What\'s the point of the Wasp?

 

A Nudist Camp is the place to reside,

You can \'Air\' your Opinions and much more besides,

A few Sets of Tennis and Badminton too;

But a Race featuring Hurdles would just never do.

So your playing away as Nature intends,

And a familiar Sound means it\'s time to defend;

For the Girls start to scream and the Gentleman Shout;

Much waving of Rackets and jumping about.

Then you all get to stagger to the Medical Bay,

It\'s a sight that Rubens was wont to display:

Ice Packs and Vinegar being applied to the flesh,

An X Rated \' Where\'s Wally\' been taken to excess.

So I\'ll ask again what\'s the point of the Wasp;

If there is such a reason;

Well I\'m really quite lost.

It can have no duty to Beast or Man,

So I ask Dear Lord:

Please tell us the Plan.
