12 - Bee Ware

Bee ware My first week’s pay! What am I going to do!? I have never had this much honey before! First of all, I will go to, The joke shop and get me those books I saw. I could do with some new material, For when they say “That’s getting old.” Well, they won’t say that when all my jokes, Have never before been told. By me that is, They have already been said before, on BeeTV; But who has the time to remember everything? Oh that reminds me, I could do with some shorts, For when I am playing Buzz ball; I will have to go straight to the mall. Maybe get me a nice new pair of sun glasses. Got to look the part when I go out to ‘Where it’s at.’; The place where everybody is. Got to show off some wing-bling; Got to get a new hair cut; Got to buy some new tunes; It’s time to change my style up. I’m still gonna listen to rock ‘n’ roll, Because everybody knows, It’s good for the soul; But maybe some babe would like some other kind of tune. So I will try to keep an open mind, But I know I won’t bee buying no Buzzy-Fly. Man, that guy can’t sing! And he wouldn’t know what a good lyric sounded like; Or maybe I could buy myself a brand new sky-bike. I have seen them on the adverts; They have only just arrived. Maybe I’ll catch a bee movie too, So I can quote all the lines. Already planned to go out dancing, So I will have to say something. I’m never gonna get a girl-friend by trying to sing like Bee-Bee King. Now that’s a guy who can sing! I haven’t got the range or the talent, That ‘The Yellow Stripes’ have; they sure are good. “I’m gonna fly off! A bee with seven arms couldn’t hold me back!”…I love that song. I can’t wait to play my new bass guitar tonight; Can’t wait to go and buy it. I will just pop in, go get my pay check and then it’s time to split. I will look so cool in the new threads I am going to buy. I’ve got to put aside some honey though, for Mum; Everybody wants to take their piece of my honey pie. I have to give her a part of my wage, boohoo; but it is only a slice. Got to pay the board, but I am still sure, I’ll still bee the coolest bee in the hive; Once I get those flared jeans that I have been waiting to buy… Five minutes later, Humble came out of the office with a sad look on his face. I have worked all week and this is all I get paid!?? Man! The life of a worker bee…it’s a shame... (Such a shame.) We work all day for a pot of honey And there is never enough to go around… They can talk and talk and say that’s life! But this sure ain’t funny And now I can only cry the tears of a clown.
