Fair Compensation for Bees

A honeybee told me, "It isn't funny.
Men are stealing and selling my honey".
I asked, "Well, what can I do for yer?"
He said, "Go out and find me a lawyer,
and get me back my money".

The lawyer got the money back to the bee, the bee sat back, said “this is the life for me” then bee got bored doing nothing at all, sad to say, money was his downfall… Beryl
