Sneak Attack

a butterball bumblebee
wandered close then stung my knee
after the attack
fearing I'd bite back
flew away the sneak she be

It's about time someone put some fear in those 'butterball bumblebees.' Thanks for the "Laugh Line." (Pun intended). :) gw

:) She flew away to die, my dear. They die once they've lost their sting, but I loved the humor in this piece. Well written...I enjoyed it. Thanks for your visit to my blog. Much appreciated.
