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? written July 30, 2021

LOL. LMAO! Funny, Rico. 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.

I don't know, Shirley. Do you think bees have dizzy spells? I often wonder.

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!!!
