Six Little Buzzy Bees

Six Little Buzzy Bees

     Six little buzzy bees, buzzing round their hive,
     One was sprayed with insecticide, now there are five.
     Five little buzzy bees buzzing past my door,
     Along came a wasp, now there are four.
     Four little buzzy bees buzzing through the trees,
     Along came a housing estate, now there are three.
     Three little buzzy bees buzzing to and fro’,
     Along came a harvester, now there is one.
     One little buzzy bee buzzing all alone,
     Along came climate change, now there are none.

C'est la vie, that's life, it sucks sometimes, yet life manages its rightful claim, though I like it much, Aloha wk

Thank you for commenting, William. The bee is under environmental threat here in the U.K. With no bees there will be no pollination of crops. // Barry
