Bee-Witched, Bothered and Bee-Wildered

I've been buzzing around for hours
In and out of the flowers
Having a grand old flit.
I'm all covered in pollen
My legs are quite swollen,
But I do enjoy doing my bit.

I've been under the flowers spell,
Bee-witched by their colour and their smell
But I'm a bit bothered by what's happening to me;
My head's going round and round
Can't quite find the ground,
I'm bee-wildered,feel all at sea...
               
I'll take just one more dip.
Then I think I'll have a kip
Before I go home to tea...
Oo-er Ive come over all funny,
(Hic) never mind the honey
Think I'm a drunken bum-ble bee.

Very cute and humorous Sylvia:) I've always wondered what a bee felt like full of nectar. Your poem has exactly the same shape as my latest which caught my eye. God's love!

Thanks for the suggestions on how to achieve center alignment of a poem on poetrysoup. I tried what you wrote and nothing happened. In fact, when I clicked on the green font nothing happened there either. As before, I tried it several ways and nothing worked. ~Jim
