He wandered all over the states
from town to town, city to city.
He didn’t really know why he
wandered, he just felt he had to.
He had some love affairs with
a few settling down women.
But they never settled him down.
He worked odd jobs here and there.
He acted as if he never had a care.
In a small town in Idaho, he met
a woman who settled him down.
He stopped his wandering until
she wandered away from him.
He began his wandering all over
again, and kept wandering until
his body was planted in a state
sponsored indigent cemetery,
his rambling over, far as I know.

She looked angelically beautiful to him.
Her alluring charms captivated him.
He fell in love with her instantly.
He proposed to her after three weeks.
They married a week later.
He thought he was the most fortunate
man who ever lived having such
an incredibly beautiful wife.
A year later, he vanished mysteriously,
never found, declared dead.
His angelically beautiful widow,
became diabolically wealthy.

European honey bees have no defense against them.
1 Japanese Giant Hornet can kill 40 in a minute.
30 of them can kill 30,000 in under 4 hours.
20 to 40 humans are killed by them yearly.
They possess a uniquely deadly venom.
They travel in deadly swarms.
Did something diabolical have a hand in creating them?
Japanese honey bees have a defense against them.
They lure a hornet scout into their hive and trap it
and swarm it like a giant, moving ball covering it.
The velocity of the bees beating wings around it
increases heat so much they roast it to death.
The scout dead, the rest of the hornets not alerted.
The Japanese bees proactively save their hive
from a wholesale, savage devastation with
an amazing defense, like a great battle strategy.
But, God Almighty, those Japanese hornets are
so damn demonic and woe to anything or
anybody who gets too close to their nests.
