Another very witty masterpiece from the MASTER OF VERSE! I'll toss a quilting bee into the mix just to add to the confusion! I appreciate your kind comments and observations of several of my recent concoctions, Old Mate. Press on! Bob

G'day Robert … oh I look forward to your posts, especially when they tell a tale. I wonder if the word 'bee' is used as they are industrious workers who produce the goods - catch you soon Robert - Lindsay

Supposing bees could talk perhaps their intellect would maybe equal or better than ours. Hugs, Jenny.

Perhaps their intelligence might Jennifer. I watched a TV show recently on bees and the hive is complicated but hell bent on protection for survival - catch you soon Jennifer - Lindsay

Hi Lindsay, Humans would come to a standstill with our modern technology, birds would carry on living however as they have done for years. Spelling bee is quite another thing it is a contest in which we would beat our feathered friends by far. Poetry hugs, Jennifer.

G'day Jennifer … What amuses me is Jennifer - how did they ever come up with the name 'spelling bee.' We have a very intelligent urban raven around home. Some of the things I've watched him do amaze me - thanks Jennifer - Lindsay

Oh I like the twist at the end, caught me by surprise (in a good way!) Afraid I don't know the answer though!
