The Bitterness of Honey

The day’s been impressively amazing
Because everything was entertaining
Birds sang sweetly in shrubs like Hellen
On blossoms lots of bees sought pollen  

Bumblebees have been busy like a hussy
Feeling how the day has been shambolic
Because on the path, I heard a heavy truck
That was rolling on the street slowly

Back to the hive, I was very exhausted
In the way that I was unmotivated 
Today has been restless and now
Miserable I feel for a quiet morrow

That fetches a sweet day full of hurdles
Thus, we will be cagily flying like turtles
That have no return hope but always dare
And that also I take up is neither truly fair

Life’s honeyed but it’s difficult full at lair 
We bear its cynicism to alteration pronto 
Sweetness to arise soon we dream on Pluto
Making the itches of bees turn into softness
