Bees Short Lived Boo Boo

B rewing her potions one Halloween eve, Witch Hazel
R eceived a sting from a bee;
E liciting the response of a flyswatter smack.
V ulnerable bee, he lay upon the dark, dank floor.
I nstead of sweeping away, little bee, Witch Hazel
T hrew him into her brew and laughed with glee,
Y a, haha, ha, I’ve got you now, take that for your sting!

Cute and humorous, quite catchy, but I as a nature lover always say "Save the bees." LOL!

Bess never harm you if you let them be - Witch Hazel had it in for the bee because the bee must have know she was NASTY and stung he, and so he died! Lovely verse, well penned my friend. Hugs, Jenny.

If you've ever seen that cartoon, Witch Hazel is a real nut case. Thanks.

I am thinking you are getting in the mood for the next month, and I was just getting used to August weather in September. It will be hard to believe it is Witch's month if it is still 94 degrees!
