Name: wasp joke
Duration: P00H01M35S
Description: For 8 years now, Gary W Lang's run the "Great First of August Exhibition" on FB, where folks are encouraged to write a song or poem, do a drawing or whatever. That prompted me to write this little song about one of my favourite jokes. Things take a dark turn, of course. The wasps' apparently unprovoked rage is well known to one and all... and I'm still looking for a rhyme for "anaphylaxis".

lyrics

A bloke walks into a pet shop, and asks the lass if they sell wasps. When she says "no", he replies "well, you've got two in the window". The wasps fly up in a rage and sting him quite severely. He ends up in an ambulance with a case of anaphylaxis. I suppose the moral is, be careful what you ask for.
