Every Yellow Jacket Stings

We’re having a little fun on the blog today.  This post about yellow jackets is best read to the tune of Poison’s “Every Rose Has It’s Thorn”.

We both live in Tennessee
In the heat of August.
Although we both live close together
We try to be miles apart outside.
Was it my foot on your nest or the lawnmower blade?
Did the dog sniff your nest?
Though I tried not to disturb you,
Though I tried,
But I guess that’s why they say

Every yellow jacket stings.
Just like every winter has its spring,
Just like every June
Knoxville gets hot, hot, hot.
Every yellow jacket stings..
Yeah they do.

I watch where I step in the woods,
Sticking to the trails.
Hear others cry in pain when they
Alarm you
But I wonder, do they know?
The grounds are your home,
And we know you that you will defend it,
If I could have let them know somehow

I guess
Every yellow jacket stings.
Just like every winter has its spring,
Just like every June
Knoxville gets hot, hot, hot.
Every yellow jacket stings..
Yeah they do.

Though I tried to avoid you
I am now in so much pain.
I head to the doctor
Because the stings, oh the stings, they inflame!
I know I could’ve avoided you today on my walk,
If I had paid attention,
Instead of playing with my iPod
I let my feet run away!

Now I wonder when I will learn,
Will I ever be stung again
To hear you get angry, makes
Me want to run and hide.

Every yellow jacket stings.
Just like every winter has its spring,
Just like every June
Knoxville gets hot, hot, hot.
Every yellow jacket stings.
