The Bee and the Hibiscus

Hummed the bee to the flower,
"If only you would this once my friend,
Spare me a mouthful of some nectar".

"No problem" replied the hibiscus,
"As long as you sincerely promise me
To help sprout out with more buds".

"Oh, very simple!", the bee snapped,
As it paused eyeing the fine petals
Which made its bulging eyes popped.

"Alright then", the hibiscus said,
"And what are friends ever made for
If not to feed others and in turn be fed?"
