Bee-Witched, Bothered and Bee-Wildered

I've been buzzing around for hours In and out of the flowers Having a grand old flit. I'm all covered in pollen My legs are quite swollen, But I do enjoy doing my bit. I've been under the flowers spell, Bee-witched by their colour and their smell But I'm a bit bothered by what's happening to me; My head's going round and round Can't quite find the ground, I'm bee-wildered,feel all at sea... I'll take just one more dip. Then I think I'll have a kip Before I go home to tea... Oo-er Ive come over all funny, (Hic) never mind the honey Think I'm a drunken bum-ble bee.

Very cute and humorous Sylvia:) I've always wondered what a bee felt like full of nectar. Your poem has exactly the same shape as my latest which caught my eye. God's love!

Sylivia, this would make a cool short cartoon. I could picture the story from start to finish >> James

Thanks for the suggestions on how to achieve center alignment of a poem on poetrysoup. I tried what you wrote and nothing happened. In fact, when I clicked on the green font nothing happened there either. As before, I tried it several ways and nothing worked. ~Jim

Everyone here in Spain loves it and i have been given a TV show to present! Poetry Soup Inspired me to make this book with the wonderful comments from the wonderful people here on the soup! Thank you, love, Simone
