Squawking, Talking, Humming, Spelling

A talking bird is smart let’s agree,
they have a wonderful vocabulary,
so it may seem bazaar,
that as smart as birds are;
Are they smarter than a spelling bee?

Robert L. Hinshaw Date: 2/23/2019 10:48:00 AM 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 Login to Reply Lindsay Laurie Date: 2/23/2019 6:57:00 PM 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

Jennifer Proxenos Date: 1/31/2019 8:51:00 AM Supposing bees could talk perhaps their intellect would maybe equal or better than ours. Hugs, Jenny.

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

Jennifer Proxenos Date: 1/31/2019 1:35:00 AM 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.

We have a very intelligent urban raven around home. Some of the things I've watched him do amaze me - thanks Jennifer - Lindsay

Michelle Faulkner Date: 1/26/2019 3:45:00 PM Oh I like the twist at the end, caught me by surprise (in a good way!) Afraid I don't know the answer though! Login to Reply Lindsay Laurie Date: 1/29/2019 5:48:00 PM G'day Michelle … there is no answer Michelle. But we do know that the story of the birds and bees opened our young eyes - thanks Michelle - Lindsay

Rico Leffanta Date: 1/26/2019 1:20:00 PM The Spelling Bee is usually one that doesn't get the buzz! Aloha! Rico Login to Reply Lindsay Laurie Date: 1/29/2019 5:44:00 PM G'day Rico … but there is a sting in the tail - thanks Mate - Lindsay
