Pru the Bee Keeper

There once was a keeper called Pru
Who suffered from bouts of the flu,
She was stung by her bees
As she let out a sneeze,
And turned all the honey to glue.

For Gwen's contest

Hi Jack..how is it that KASH IS AS FAST As LIGHTENING? Oh my word!! ha ah. He beat me to the punch here to congratulate you! Here's how it went down..I judged the first 2 rounds then this evening the final judging was done at the ice cream parlor with 2 other judges. We judged on meter and content..humor scored the highest of course. I loved the image of this scene. What a hoot the bee keeper's hive must have been. Congrats on your winning write. The judging was stressful bc I wanted everyone to win first. ha ha. Gwendolen

Unlike Terry Malloy, this one is going to be a contender. It's going to get a shot at the title while Terry gets a one way ticket to Palookaville.
