Mumble Bee, speak clearly!
I can’t hear a word you’re saying.
Careful, silly Stumble Bee
and don’t fall over, playing!
Fumble Bee, just put it down!
“It’s fine, Miss Bumble!” SMASH!
Tumble Bee, get down from there!
“It’s cool Miss Bumble!” CRASH!
What a mess, young Jumble Bee!
It’s time to clear away!
Stop that whining Grumble Bee!
You’re grumpier each day.
Good work, little Humble Bee!
Yes, three and two makes five!
If only all the other bees
would learn how to BEHIVE!

Lovely for vocabulary, rhyming, onomatapoeia and an introduction to use of accent on that last word.
Thanks very much, Colleen. Are you a teacher?
