Sweet Honey

by

Joyce Hemsley

"Hello my hairy bumble-bee,
have you stopped by to talk with me?
you are in quite a frantic rush,
humming and buzzing from bush to bush.

'A little bird' told me your story -
at the end of summer you must die.
I will miss your yellow-striped body,
humming and buzzing and drifting by.

But please, don't ever try to sting me,
if you do, you will surely die;
and I would be so full of sorrow,
so bumble-bee, don't ever try!

Just peacefully collect the nectar
from your favourite flower of flowers,
and I will live in gratitude,
as your sweet honey, I devour.
