Buzzing Off

An insect was crawling my way
As I sat on a park bench today.
Getting closer to me
I saw it was a bee
And I hoped I’d not end up as prey.

Though it passed me, it stayed within sight
And I wondered if passersby might
Squash it flat as they neared
But none did; it appeared
Fearing luck would run out it took flight.

Glad you avoided a sting. I always tell myself they're more afraid of us than we are of them, but that's not much consolation after you're stung!

I think that the bee may have been scared of what you would do to it, had it overstayed its welcome. :) gw
