Wax Animals
An animal family was unique
all had wax in their ears
they got frequent visitors
the visitors were honey bees
they wanted to build honey combs
in a safe mobile home
the animal family was most suitable
all saw the opportunity for riches
others saw security and pride
soon their ears got overcrowded
and bees asked for more space
“Give us your noses as well
we see enough space there”,
requested the bees
Unthinking, whole family accepted
and everyone suffocated
bees strengthened their colonies
animal family became extinct
