Honey Dippers

bees caress

Anne-Lise Andresen February 17, 2013 at 12:25 PM I just thought of Winnie the Pooh ...... He was in your mind when you wrote this sweet honey poem Debra (?) ..... lol .... - It is a lovely poem. - Have a beautiful Sunday afternoon. - Oxox / / Anne-Lise :) Debra Squyres February 17, 2013 at 12:34 PM Twas actually meant to have a two fold meaning...not sure I carried it off. lol But, yes, I can see how this would bring one's mind to Winnie the Pooh !!

Robert Johnson February 17, 2013 at 10:46 AM A rhythmic rhyme sweet and sublime. Delightful to the senses. Who cares if honey bees have knees or if it's comprehensive. Just having fun with a little pun so please don't take it beesily. :)

Jancarl Campi February 16, 2013 at 10:02 PM Hi the Ho!! I like this one very much. Just what are "bees knees" ? Do bees really have knees? Take care, keep om writing, Jancarl Debra Squyres February 16, 2013 at 11:11 PM It is suppose to have a double meaning...pollen on the bees legs (knees, hmmm do they have them?? who knows lol) The bees knees is an expression meaning "Cool" ....

Andrea Dietrich February 16, 2013 at 8:34 PM oh this is cute. It reminds me of footles style in a way. Love that old expression bees knees. I bet the new generation does not even know it. And my favorite one of this set is the tea for two with those honeyed lips!!
