Bee's Knees

If bees have knees They must be quite tiny What about elbows Or cute tiny heinies? And what about thighs That end at the knees? Do they ever wear shorts? Are they hassled by fleas? Now how about hair Is it long and flowing? Do they wear tiny parkas In the winter when snowing? When one tells a joke Do the other ones giggle? Can they write with a pen Does it just look like squiggles? There's no answer to these And their other great fears When a bee friend dies Do they cry honey tears? ©Jack Ellison 2012

I made a promise to you one time that I would read and comment on all of your poetry posted on Poetrysoup. This is a challenge, because you write nonstop!! : ) But I love challenges, and I love your poetry, and I am having a blast reading through some of your older ones here. Aww the last stanza here is cute. Great silly stuff here! Always, Laura

Another very imaginative write. I wondered where the gecko in the GEICO TV commercial got his slogan "They're the bees knees".

That saying probably goes back to the roaring twenties! Thanks again Robert!

That's wonderful how you've managed to describe bee's in a very creative way. Full of imagery. I really like (not sure as to what it's about though) Bit clueless, I am :)
