Jive In a Beehive

Doing the jive in a beehive
Can be detrimental to your life
Performing high kicks
With pointy toed flicks
Will cause the bees to sting your behind

This is a clever and humorous write. I can just picture a tiny person trying to dance in a hive. Nice job Thanks for the awesome comment on my Habits poem. Glad you enjoyed it.

I'm so captivated by your writing that I didn't notice your straying from the rhyming pattern.... I found the humor over came the unintentional and resulted in a great little chuckle.... Love ya dearly.... Jake

Better to be stung than to be hung without fun - I absolutely adore bumble bees karen, hence this clever write is a tastey joy for me, and the moral is appealing as well - J.A.B. %
