Near Miss

A bumblebee missed my head this morning
Flew into the plate-glass window, without warningl,
And bounced off into the dogwood tree
I wonder, who was better off…him or me?

I think, but I'm not certain, I know what you were referring to. If it is what I thought, it is hilarious! Thanks for the comment.

Fun stuff...ab Login to Reply L Milton Hankins Date: 7/30/2021 6:26:00 PM That's kinda how I felt, Anselmo. Believe it or not, I wondered if the bee got hurt hitting that plate-glass window. I think of the weirdest things!!!
