I Also Envy Your Travelers' Miles, Mr. Bumblebee.

Buzzing bee, keep the sun in your sights,
packing nectar down snug in your tights.
So adroit at your task
that I just had to ask:
" Is that dinner on all of your flights?"

This one is unique in that it shows a fact concerning how the bee navigates. Congratulations Gerard, on your success. Agape, Moses

I opted out of this one as bugs are not my thing Gerard..haha.. so am so busy like your bumble bees these days.. going to Italy for business purposes and will honeymoon there.. we both have been there before and have friends who are giving us a villa for the two weeks we will be there... only hope customs does not confiscate our cell phones as foreign countries seem to be doing these days.. protocol... luv..
