Poem
Don’t bee late for Flight-school Ok…Are you sure you have got everything that you need? There is nothing you have forgotten? Nothing you want to get before you leave? Are you sure you don’t need to use the lavatory before you go? Oh! Have you got enough honey? Enough clothes to wear? Some beeswax for your hair? Are you sure you are ready to leave? Yeah… Don’t worry about me Mum, I’ll bee ok. I have been preparing for this day since I can remember. Oh! Have you got your mittens? It gets cold in September. Mum; chill out. I’m going to bee fine And the next time you see me I’ll bee able to fly! Now Son; are you sure you don’t want me to give you a lift? No Dude; thanks, but it’s only a short trip… It’s time for me to go. Oh I know, I know; don’t bee late, hurry along And go and meet your mates, don’t bee late. I’m sure he will bee ok Love. We love you Son. Yes! We love you Humble! And his Mum gave him a great big hug! I love you guys too and I won’t bee gone long. Just a few days and I will bee done And then you can say “You know he flies as well now, my Son.” With that Humble walked out of the door And soon he met his mates, all four. They were up ahead so he ran to catch up. Oh ‘ello Humble. What’s up? Hey Bee-Real, what are you doing here? Just walking little Prince here to flight-school. He fears. He worries too much if you ask me; Got no sense of direction, see. Oh well; what will bee, will bee. Hey Humble. Hey Prince. How’s things? Don’t ask. Bee-Real laughed. Hey Humble. Hey Blondebee; What do you reckon we are gonna see, When we walk through those big doors? Bee-Real said “You’ll see ‘em all flying about an’ that, I’m sure. They got nothing better to do, I’ll bet ya.” Hey Tiny Dancer. Hey Hum; Today’s gonna bee fun! Yeah, for you it is, you already know how to fly Mr. Superfly. Some of us just have a natural ability; Hey ladies. Said Tiny Dancer as two bees flew by. Humble and the others, Had to walk through the offices of the Bee-Air institution, Before they were eventually lead to the building, In which their training instructor was waiting, For them to begin their training mission. So there it was…Flight-school. Wow! That’s cool! Said Humble as they opened the huge doors, To reveal a huge area painted sky blue from wall-to-wall And in the centre of the large room there was a swimming pool. What’s with the water, Bee-Real? That’s for when someone fails. If your wings get wet because they are not like a shield of steel, Then they say pack your bags. It’s time to bail… Well; see you later guys. I’d love to stay, but I gotta fly. As Bee-Real left and the small group of four joined the line, Flight Lieutenant McFly began to talk. After a little while the training had begun And soon it would bee time for the tests… As Humble walked up to take his place for the first attempt, The Flight Lieutenant said, Show us what you got kid! And Humble did! He flapped his wings as hard as he could! He rose off the ground a little and then he floated back down. Nice attempt. Try again. Some of the other bees were joking behind the Lieutenants back. Hey you; I can see what you are doing over there. Stop clowning around. Humble tried three times and it didn’t work. Tiny Dancer tapped him on the shoulder and said My turn. Then he leapt into the air and flew around the room. Well done lad. You really know how to zoom! It seemed like everybody else did too; To Humble at least. Eventually, all that was left was one last bee. Even after being trained by Flight Lieutenant McFly, Humble was running out of time. Everyone else had learned to fly. They were all watching. There he was…the last bee in line. Nobody believed he could do it; Not even him… Until he only went and did it! Humble soared into the sky! He flew so high! And so fast around the room And as he passed the bees below, he shouted out Zooommm!!! He was gone in a flash, So quick to dart back up into the air And as he landed in front of the cheering bees in his class, After flying behind the artificial clouds and trees, The lieutenant said, “Congratulations! You have all passed!” Nobody fell into the swimming pool. Humble later found out that nobody ever does. As he flew home, he felt, so cool! And all along the flight path that he took home, Could bee heard the sound of Humble B. Bumble, Qualified flier, Humming along… At last Humble had found the right note to sing his unique buzz.
