Away from home in the open air.

Now I maintain that it can't be right,

When there isn't a single wasp in sight,

To have mint-sauce and a joint of lamb,

Some currant cake and a pot of jam,

A gooseberry tart, with sugar and cream,

And some salad dressing, a bottled dream—

All the things that a wasp loves best

When he buzzes away from his hidden nest;

And you all shout "Wasp!" and flick at the fellow,
