We have a visitor, an uninvited one.
She enters without hi, and leaves without bye.
Basically comes and goes as she wishes, already countless times.
We acknowledge her presence, albeit an unwelcome one
And soon realize she is more than a guest, she is a pest.
We chase her out, to no success
She just keeps coming back with more guests.

Actually I’m referring to a Wasp (not sure though) that finds my home a cosy place to build a “mud wasp nest”. Wasp’s initial target is a dark brown painted door edge to my mum’s room. Upon realizing this uninvited intrusion, “Operation Find-And-Destroy” is started.
With the windows and balcony doors left open during the day, it is no wonder how the Wasp can come and go with ease. I admire its determination and persistence but I also loathe its stupidity for repeating the same mistakes for far too long (reminded me of someone from an opposition party). In fact, the Wasp must be really dumb to keep returning to the same old spot to find the “muds” missing.
After a long time, target locations changed. It found a liking for one of my dark brown wooden chair in my room. Wah lao… can’t you choose a better place. Anyway, my mum busted the mud nest. And it moved happily to the antique sewing machine located in my bro’s room. Incidentally, also dark brown in colour… So coincidental meh? Colour of tree trunks?!?… Harlow brother (or is that sister), you got the wrong address!!!
All these – I haven’t got a chance to see… until today. Operation Find-And-Destroy is upgraded to Operation Kill.

See! The mud is still wet. Newly constructed.
See the inside... Eeeeee...
Piak... Boing... and it's dead. End of story.
