Bees Don'T Go

Bumbling along from flower to flower Not sure what they do hour after hour? Well, let me tell you where we'd be if they were to go Four years at most and we're likely to follow. A water melon made tasty by its hundreds of seeds Every last one pollinated as one of the bees deeds. Cantaloupes and strawberries, peaches and apples Their specialness gone, despite your taste bud's grapples. Cucumbers and squash, tomatoes, peppers and peas They'd all lose their character without our lovely bees. "We'll I don't like vegetables" I can hear some of you say But those Cows, pigs, and chickens need grass or hay! The one safe thing surely, are the clothes on your back? Well, with no precious cotton you may just have a sack. Can we be all British and have a cup of tea Not if we say goodbye to our humble bee! Our fragile world, about so little we know Oh, our bumbling friends, bees don't go!
