The Wasp

by Abigail Grant aged 10

Buzz, the wasp, is a horrible creature,
his sting is by far his favourite feature.
Day and night he’s a real beast,
So are his friends (there are twenty- at least!)

When, one day, he was buzzing through the air,
and his friends came back with an apple and a pear,
‘Yes!’ he said, ‘it’s very yummy!
So go get me some bread and honey!’
His friends gave him vegetables, fruit and stuff,
But Buzz proclaimed, ‘This isn’t enough!’

By day he kept growing bigger and bigger,
then a boy came along and with a snigger
said, ‘You can’t nearly grow as big as me,
try if you like, and then you’ll see.’

Buzz didn’t appreciate the little boy’s call,
so he ate the boy up, glasses and all!
So what’s the moral of this story, you say?
If it’s sunny, don’t go out to play.
And if you do feel like playing out in the sun,
and you meet a wasp – don’t make fun!
