Stingless Bees

I think that I shall never see

     A quiltin' bee or spellin' bee

          A-skitterin' to and fro

               But 'tis better yet to know

                    This species won't be stingin' me

Ha-Ha! Well aren't you just the "bees' Knees" Robert? Something my grandfather used to say. Our whole family is allergic to bees, but grandpa always won spelling bees and grandma was into quilts. I love this poem and the lighthearted wayyou made me feel about something I dread. Thanks Robert! Best to you, Diane
