Who Am I
Who Am I
The humble bee, it seems, is me,
(Not the drone, but the Queen)!
Unselfishly I'll serve at tea...
Or pack a deadly sting!
I also was a Judge of old...
Held court beneath a Palm.
Steadfast to God, His wisdom told;
I was a Nation's mom!
Now, acting, singing, also art,
Are, too, my healing oil;
But, Cleopatra stole the heart
Of Aluminum foil!

Answers to riddle: (for those who don't know;))
1. Deborah means bee in Hebrew
Bees serve for the good of others and provide
Sweet nourishment as well
2. Judges 4-5 in the Old Testament of the Bible
Is the story of Deborah: she was the 4th Judge of
Israel...and was called the mother of Israel (good
Read)...
3. Far too many years ago, it was popular to name
Daughters after movie stars...this one was friends
With Elizabeth Taylor and sent her husband to console
Her after her husbands death(they were all good friends)
Liz was filming "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" at the time
Of her husbands death...amazing performance.
But, Debbie Reynolds (Fisher), lost her husband
As well...to Liz Taylor!!
