To All Worker Bees

Whatever color 
Your collar happens to be,
Keep up the good work!
Bravo for flitting
From pillar to post,
Making honey 
Out of all that is bitter 
About your job. 
Attaboy for showing up
Every day and breaking a sweat
I hope you're clocking out 
At the end of your shift, satisfied.
You're creating a buzz
About your work ethic
And your hard work 
I'm sure will be rewarded.
Savor the nectar
That comes out of the dividends.
Enjoy the flowers!
Don't break out in hives
Over work left incomplete.
You're doing more than enough,
And your boss knows it.
Good job!

A highly metaphoric poem .... Edward. Work hard like the bees in a hive. Produce results and savor the honey.... ! There may be drones, but tolerate them. They too are needed. As the hive thrives, life too will thrive. I love your attitude to life.
