Bees

On a summer day so hot and sunny
I watched a bee in a hive make honey
And as I went to pass 
He stung me in the grass (fooled you, didn’t I)
And I said hey man, that isn’t funny

Vince, I loved this and it would have ranked higher with the stipulated syllable count. But we couldn't ignore the humor. Congratulations on your placement in the contest! Love, Carolyn

Funny Vince. I have a bee around this year. He seems to like the deck and I don't want to swat him so I stay out of his way. Cute poem. God Bless Phyl
