Bee-Ware

I think that I shall never see
  an insect scary as a bee
Sister screams, she spots a spider
  but bees are lethal when they bite her...

I cower at bees' buzzing sound
  as they circle round and round
If I try to wave 'em away
  They attack, without delay...

Logic tells me not to cower
  Bees are needed to grow flowers ~
Let reason try another tack
  Lest reason also BEE attacked

It's the old Joyce Kilmer rhythm: 'I think that I shall never see // a thing as lovely as a tree. We all puked reciting this one in high school. lol. Though I'd lighten it up a bit. Cheers, gw
