David Kavanagh Poet Monorhyme

Beehave

Two bees, speed date on the phone 
One’s a queen, and me I’m a drone 
Her hive’s empty, she’s feeling alone 
Ask’s me over, to make some clones 
I went buzzing, in the twilight zone 
My stinger’s pointed, so well honed 
When I arrived, she lay there prone 
A hornet had ripped her to the bone 
I took over, put my ex on the throne 
Life’s a honeypot, I will never atone
