A Bees Buzz Begotten

A BEE’S BUZZ BEGOTTEN I am a bee amongst a million beautiful butterflies They are wisps of beauty but I’m the only one who can sting Alas their beauty is just a caterpillar’s disguise And only this bee can talk to shadows while butterflies choose to sing Butterflies flutter bye and children chase them with glee Everyone runs from me because they know I can sting Butterflies are disguised with rainbow wings and fancy do they flee They may be all dressed up for a ball, but man, I’m the real f*****ing thing Don’t mess with me because I ain’t no butterfly flitting all about And then hold black-tie balls to dance the night away I’ve a destination, a hive, a home where we buzz but never shout And I have the power to curse and ruin any soul’s day An important caveat now would be beware of my stripes While you encase butterflies in frames and glass Butterflies come in varied and sundry types I suppose that’s why you collect them and just look to kill my ass © 2011.…Phreepoetree ~free cee!
