This made me smile from the very beginning. Both the picture and the words remind me of my husband. In the summer he's never far from his swatter.
Thanks for sharing.

Hi, Melissa,

I hate wasps. I hate bees, and I hate flies. So, the mention of the fly-swatter and the motions just make me laugh. I'm not afraid of flies; I just hate them. However, wasps and bumblebees terrify me.

Thank you for giving me a giggle this morning as I imagined you swinging the swatter, and then hitting yourself when the dastardly thing lands on your head,

~patty~

I am still wondering what may have inspired this odd poem. I enjoyed the parallel cartoon you selected and your alternating rhyme. Sweet dreams- Joan

I like the rhythm and rhyme of this whimsical piece. It reads so well out loud. I have been busily, dizzily chasing a mosquito that my husband let in the house. Believe me that is worse.
Fun poem. Thank you.

Ha ha...I am picturing this!
My husband does this EVERY summer outside.
I dread seeing him bring a magazine/book out
because I know it's going to turn into
a battle between himself and the bees.
They always win, ha ha.
Loved this,
Blessings...

Oh this is fun!! ;) You know, I know it isn't really meant to be, but it could actually fit into that little collection you have set aside for a children's compilation some day -- could even have it set to some musical little ditty that they could dance to! LOL! ;) ;) Melissa's Waspy Wave Dance -- LOL! ;) Thanx for sharing! :) Yvette :)
