A poem which attempts to dissuade you from bringing your Hornet to the Jeweller
Don’t bring your Hornet to the Jeweller
She’s worse behaved than Ferris Bueller
Like Cruella De Ville, but even crueller
Twould be a deplorable sight
Your silk spinning flyer, all dazzled by diamonds
Would be sparkle-seduced to a life-time of crime and
Not rest till the nest is all golden designs and
Fancy things for her nuptial flight
She’d want rubies and jades for the entire colony
Would argue for emeralds on her arguable knee
This flashy queen would owe a fierce alimony
For the grubs in their combs snug and tight
You’d find that her Vespa-ness surely would sting
With every watch, she’d want a matching fine ring
And bracelets and bangles, in fact everything
No Jeweller for your Hornet today

- nothin worse than a sparkle-seduced Hornet, i'd imagine...it would be the cover of Hallo next..
What a demanding Hornet you have, surely the entire breed can't be that bad!!!
Worse than magpies for shiny things are the hornets...
Phew, Words, glad to have been of service.
I've done my research socks, 99% of em are bad, and 1% are terrible.
At least they have a bit more colour sense Oub, black and white is so last century.
Oh God. I'm a hornet.
Knew it Titus!!
Shopping with hornets would leave me quite frazzled
And give whole new meaning to the term “bee-jazzled.”
While buzzing about with a bevy of bling
Might boost up their beauty, it won’t soften their sting.
New knowledge (directly and indirectly) from the poem: Hornets spin silk, and the silk has peculiar thermovoltaic properties. These poems are way more educational than my 14 years of K-12.
well thanks to you acorn, I just learned what thermovoltaic means. Love bee-jazzled by the way.
