War Of The Poetic Pests

There is a wacky wasp in the pantry
It made a family and a whole military
Then, after that, the wasps attracted spiders
To be like the wasps, they invented gliders
After this flies swarmed like bees
We beggged them to go and we did say ‘please’
Then I watched as a spider swallowed a fly
And two seconds later a wasp swallowed that spider that never said ‘bye’
This triggered a war between all of the pests
And at the end of the war the wasps moved their nests
All of our enemies left that day
But I know they’ll come back its just a delay.
