Fig
_____________________________________
Sticky fig needs a wasp to fruit
Otherwise it’s all leaves and root
This fact the squeamish may dispute
Tiny wasp pollinates
Leaves eggs and wings along her route
In fig’s sweet flesh, tastes great.

It’s always a surprise to see
Not sure why I’m surprised to see
Wasps fly from flower to flower
– – – – – I am not scared
Is it the lack of hair that scares?
Slick pollinators causing dread
It’s always a surprise, you see
– – – – – I am not scared
Simply observe, no one gets stung
Evil’s in the beholder’s eye
Marvel at nature’s keen brilliance
– – – – – I am not scared
