Bee to Zee November 11, 2008

Once I saw a bumble bee

but never met a bumble cee.

I’ve yet to greet a bumble dee

so tell me please, have you?

And has there been a bumble eee,

a bumble gee, a bumble vee?

Has anyone seen bumble pee

or stepped in bumble poo?

I’ve never heard of bumble tee.

And what of buzzy bumble zee?

What kind of bumble could he be?

Does he like honey too?

I want to see a bumble cee,

a bumble dee, a bumble eee.

I’ll see all bumbles – Bee to Zee

down at the bumble zoo!

With friends like these… March 17, 2008

I show no kindness to the bee

I curse and chase him daily

for once I tried to cook him tea

and guess how he repaid me 

I found him on my windowsill

he looked so very hungry

I cooked him supper but he still

buzzed angrily and stung me 

I tucked him snugly into bed

he felt no gratitude

my arm was swollen, sore and red

why must he be so rude? 

I’ll trust no bee for quite a while

I’ve found another friend

He’s such a lovely crocodile

and ARGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! 

The end!
