Bees

a child did to her mother say
why have the bees all gone away
those flutterbyes with coloured wings
and all those creepy crawlie things

its winter now her mother said
the insects have all gone to bed
when springtime comes they,ll wipe their eyes
those bumblebees and butterflies
and start the cycle once again
unless they,re killed by acid rain
or chemicals that farmers spray
to keep the insects far away
then one day soon we all will say
why have the bees all gone away
