Miss Hornet and the Bee Hive Fling

Virginia was looking for an adventure at sea Her life was turned upside down due to being a worker bee Stress took its toll in her honey loving hive When one morning her romantic fantasy took a dive Entering her cubicle filled with wax Virginia was not prepared for the emotional attack There was a delivery from a man who was her best Had the control and sometimes acted like a pest Opening the envelope there was a filled out form That basically said, ‘I wish you were never born’ Feeling very scorned She sat in her chair Wondering who he had the affair Was it Wendy who was good at doing a sale? And numbers went up when profits did not fail Dyson rolled the dice Being ever so nice Doing the financial book With her glasses on she did have that look Then there was Karen At the bar she was luring, flirting, loving, and daring Taking off the ring that said, “I want you to be the one I wed” Not in debt Virginia greeted her teeth Feeling the anger and heat “There is something you should know You were never my beau” A message that had a sinister glow Headed south Virginia did go Ending a life highlighted being 'Bambi' the morning nimble doe Leaving the secure corporate space No longer wanting to fake that cover girl smile on her face Paradise a waits No obligations single fighting off hate Weeks past Peace at last Then Virginia learned A tragedy to her ex-boyfriend’s firm A nasty giant bug spread throughout the perfect corporate land Virginia relaxed enjoying the sand A text did ping “Miss Hornet here is the settlement from the working bee fling” Smiling she reflected back Knowing it was now fact She was no fool Watching the ocean blue Since they had no case Due to being confused in a rat race
