Butterflies and Honey Bees

In the meadow, weeds flowering By a cluster of old shade trees Make a lovely scene attracting Some butterflies and honey bees Butterflies sipping each flower Flit happily from bloom to bloom Flaunting their wings of gossamer Giving each other lots of room Several colours of the rainbow Painted on their gossamer wings Put on a brilliant colour show Such a happy feeling it brings Bees also join in the feasting Imbibing each flower's nectar Doing so with joyful humming In their role as honey maker Weed flowers are in Nature's brood Springing up where ever they please They assist in providing food For butterflies and honey bees
