A real life event that took place back in the 60's. No air conditioning and with windows wide open, a bumblebee visited me. What an experience!
It was way back in the days of old when cars without air cooling were sold. I drove with the windows open wide and a big bumblebee flew inside He hit my chest and fell to the seat somewhere between my belt and my feet. I did not know just where he went but my quick searching would not relent. I’m sure he must have been stunned a bit and I saw that devil right where I sit while driving sixty down the road I tried to move before he’d explode. With foot on the pedal I tried to stand so I could reach him with my right hand. The car was swerving and so was I trying to keep him from stinging my thigh. We must have driven for several miles with other drivers giving me smiles. At last I got that pest to the floor and gave him a kick right out the door. When put to music this awkward prance is my invention of a new dance. Not like the twist but it could go far if I could just do it outside the car.

This one make me remember my wasp, never the brakes suffered that kick or the car door that open swing, but I was out of there like a shot because I can't dance.
Thanks for the laughs.

I enjoyed the giggle I received from your poem Larry, driving the outback roads of Australia I encounted many a "bug" in my travels.
Thanks for the laugh.

I may be laughing now Larry but if I was behind the wheel and that happened to me, I may not be around to write about it. Thank you for the smiles and sharing a great write.

Newfie Hugs, Rose

You got me laughing here, Larry. I think you've invented a new
dance that would go great with Rimsky-Korsakov's Flight of the
Bumblebee. -gene.
