An Unlikely Pair

An Unlikely Pair Two animals were flying through the trees. Happily singing were they, a bird and a bee. Effervescently fluttering like magic fairies. Before the sun had risen very high, Iridescent wings beneath the sky Raising their bodies each one spry. Delighted wafting on the wind two fly. Soaring as new heights they defy. An adventure shared by an unlikely pair. Nevertheless, an implausible friendship was in the air. Dipping, diving, buzzing and chirping with flare. Together enjoying all that nature had to offer. Hummer was a princess and Tweedy a bachelor. Eagerly, they explored excited by love’s flicker. Before long, they were talking about birds loving bees. Everybody knows that bees do not marry birdies. Each one wanted to know more about the birds and the bees. Since the subject is touchy…they flew home and asked their mommies. © August 8, 2010 Dane Smith-Johnsen
