The Elephant Bee

An elephant bee zoomed around my head
I had maniacal thoughts, wished him dead. 
His buzz annoying
Never enjoying
Traitorous roses loved him, turning red.

Barklay's name just came to me (from my poem) I think his last name was Wright. Wish I knew how to know if he were alive or dead. Not good with finding things by google search!

I found an 'elephant beetle' online. It's pretty scary looking, and it looks like it should be named an 'elephant bee?' Were you referring to that?! ~ Red Rooster

I created my own elephant bee, not knowing there were elephant beetles at all! Thanks for the info.
