First Line: Warm from the wall she chose a peach
Last Line: She took the wasps for councillors.
Subject(s): Fruit; Peaches; Wasps; Yellow Jackets
Warm from the wall she chose a peach,
She took the wasps for councillors;
She said: "such little things can teach:"
Warm from the wall she chose a peach,
She waved the fruit within my reach,
Then passed it to a friend of hers: --
Warm from the wall she chose a peach,
She took the wasps for councillors.
