Swarms of scorpions, gnats, wasps,
Carrion flies and biting fleas :
Others are spread the world across
But bothersome enough, are these .A wasp in a classroom
Or on the bus, or even outside
Will single me out for doom—
What you must be thinking inside .
But, list for a moment .   List .

The hood and doors stand ajar
To service and vacuum the car,
The wasp appears, embarks a chase
That clears the seats ;  she marks my face :
Angrily bangs the windshield .

Then after driving across the field,
Three dots advance from afar—
She brings martial comrades for
Round two ⸺ a demonic twist .
