Bickerstaffe
Never angling for a laugh
I call myself just 'bickerstaffe;'
an English clan devoid of fame,
a plain and simple family name.
I mused, then through the ages cast
in hopes to find a storied past
to find my folk had expertise
in cultivating honey-bees.
I prize my humble pedigree
and praise the noble honey-bee
for all the sweetness that it brings
if I can just avoid those stings!
