Dum Bee

I was sitting inside the gazebo eating a hot dog 
watching the swans swim in the beautiful lake 
it came out of nowhere buzzing round the place 
tumbling and bumbling read to do bite and sting 

I hurried to my backpack to get my epi pen 
but already the swelling had begun I froze 
when I saw the size of the bee that bit me 
it took a gardener and a stranger to inject me  

I never saw what happened next,  cuz I fainted 
but the next thing I knew I was sipping koolaid 
from a plastic cup and wearing a wet compress 
all this fuss because of a bad reaction, dum bee.

Nicely done my friend. It is nothing to laugh about... Allergies can be deadly and a small bee can do it.. Hugs Eve

Oh, that sure sounds like a bad reaction. You described the incident well with this poem :)
