In My Next Life

In my next life, I will be a honey bee. A small, fuzzy, brown, with prickles on my knee. I will feel utterly, wholly super-differ-ous, Because I will now be completely mellifluous. I will be selective in choosing flowers, No hasty decisions, it’ll take me hours. Will scare people with my annoying buzzing. Sneaking up beside their ear, whisper cussing. Yes, roses and lilacs are my favorite now. But my brain is small, in my life as a cow.

Line, if there is one thing you have learned, I love humor and whimsy. And I love the word whimsy! Thank you so much!

I know this is going to sound odd; but the ending surprised me even more than you.

Very cute, Caren. Made me smile. Could be a children's poem which I dearly love.

Thank you, Daniel. The small twist at the end surprised me a bit, but I had to keep it.
