Nature Bee's

Nature

I love nature as much as the next person 
In fact you may find me out in the garden 
At least once a month 
Looking at stuff 
And smelling stuff
And other nature like stuff
Mainly cutting and cleaning
Due to spousal obligation or exploitation
Depends on whose side your on 
I digress 
It was a beautiful English spring day
Those Grey clouds really do lift ones spirit 
And the drizzle combined with the electrical cable's 
Positively Electrifying 
Anyway 
I was cutting the grass last Saturday
And 1 of those massive bumble bee's got stuck under my flip flop and stung me
Mother Chucker 
That hurts 
But like a true proffesional I carried on regardless 
Poor Mower probably didn't even know I had taken a massive hit and was man down 
But now sitting here in accident & emergency 
With 3 feet 
1 left foot 
2 right feet
This doesn't seem as funny
Because it is now costing me money
