WASPISH

How much is that wasp in the window?

Not the one not making a sound,

Not the one crawling round on the floor,

Yes, THAT one buzzing around.

I’ve always wanted a wasp

As an alternative household pet

But up ‘til now I’ve not seen the one

That I’ve really wanted to get.

How much is that wasp in the window?

I’ve got the money to pay,

Hey, quick close the door, oh no,

Too late he’s getting away.

Now I’m sad the wasp in the window

Has gone, I’m suffering from shock

But I’ll pop back tomorrow morning

When you’ve got some new wasps in stock.
