Pedigree
I never angled for a laugh
for being known as bickerstaffe,
an English clan devoid of fame,
an ordinary family name.
I mused, then through the ages cast
in hopes to find a storied past
and found my folks had expertise
in cultivating honey-bees.
I prize my humble pedigree
and praise the noble honey-bee
for all the sweetness that it brings
if I can just avoid those stings!
