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
