Stung again!
hate those damn yellowjackets
hard to see their nests
just little holes in the ground
It's not the sting
but the itching that comes later
keeping me up at night
wanting to scratch and knowing better
so much of life's like that
we learn
or else we don't
to do what children can't
to bear the itching
the rawness that only worsens
when we claw at it
can't blame the bees
they're only defending what's theirs
if I could make them understand
I mean no harm
but now harm's done
and I've no wish to risk
another sting
so sorry bees
your nest's a goner
maybe you'll find another
spot to dig your hole
far from our house
as far as I'm concerned
couldn't be far enough!
