Honey Guide Bird and His Partner Honey Badger

Honeyguide bird has a special pal
He teams up with a honey badger gal
Honeyguide finds bee’s hive and makes a call
Alerting honey badger, his partner, a friendly doll
Badger eats the sap, honeyguide bird eats the wax
This is just one of a bunch of interesting facts

The Badger

The badger was digging all out, 
In search of some grubs, no doubt. 
With dirt flying high, 
He let out a sigh, 
And left quite a mess all about!

Santa Badger was a Pushover

Santa Badger can handle it Mrs. Badger said.
She was in charge, and this is not in my head.
I have seen the two together, she gives him no leeway.
He cringes from her directions by the end of their day.

Santa Badger was a pushover and gave much away.
Bunnies, hedgehogs, and mice soon showed up to play.
Let’s go out and eat, one of the mothers suggested.
By end of the day Babysitter Badger’s nerves were sorely tested.

Ocean of Your Mind

In these troubled times
Let your animal spirit
Be the honey badger
Small but fiercely indomitable 

Stand up, stand tall
As those waves of faux outrage
Spew from the cavernous holes
Of the toothless, spineless SJWs
To break, drained of all their power
On the reef of your equanimity 

In these troubled times
Take a break from the rest
To let it go and let it be

In the arms of some Mother Mary
On the beaches of your dreams
Hear the dolphin’s cry
As they call you in to play
There in the warm and deep and clear
Take a breath then let it go
In the ocean of your mind

(dedicated to Gad - 8/15/23)

Stork Brings Badger Baby

Badger Daddy Dork got the bill from the stork.
His temper hit the top of his head with a pow.
Badger Mommy unwrapped the baby and said wow!
Pay the stork whatever he wants, she said to Dork.

You are so easy! Dork said to his smitten wife.
It is a girl this time, she said, what a great life.
The baby looked at Dork and said “hi daddy!”
He said “She is as cute as any badger could be!

Kissing Badger Santas Axe

badger Santa was the head of the Winter Mafia
godfather of the forest in non-Santa town
animals came to kiss the ring
asked for favors
he was the boss
they brought offerings
hoping it would be enough
badger Santa ran for president
he had the worst character traits
but the animals were afraid to not vote for him
afraid of repercussions
history perpetually repeats itself, said the historians

Badger Meets Miss Tee Hee

Badger had a peaceful evening planned, no lie or ruse.
Sitting by the fire, imbibing on a spot of beetle juice.
He was relaxing in the most comfortable, darling way.
When a fluttering in the room made hairs on his arms say….

What is going on? Who is here in my house?
He knew it could not be a rabbit, cat, horse or a mouse.
It was something with wings, not large, vole-sized at the most.
Ooohhhh Ooohhhh wailed a voice, it was from a friendly ghost.

Why are you here? The badger asked. Why are you haunting me?
The ghost laughed with a tinkle, she was named Miss Tee Hee.
I thought you needed company. Let’s play charades, Mr. Bun.
This annoyance would have been worse if she had been less fun.

Honey Badger

uninvited guest
sweet tooth must be satisfied ~
bee stings no problem

Hildy Badger Mad As Bells

Hildy Honey Badger was mad as unleavened beer hops
Alice her American Cousin said that she was tops 
How dare you she said, and you are a carnivore too!
The bells I am said Alice. I’m an omnivore like you!

They decided not to speak any more that day on Zoom.
Hildy went around slapping everyone else in the room.
What did we do? They asked, astounded at her action.
I am angry with my cousin. Slapping gives me satisfaction!

Next Hildy got mad at Wilma Weasel, a distant Aunt.
So she slammed the fish out of their tank and kicked a plant.
The rest of the badgers ran out, giving her plenty of space.
By supper she had thrown up a hundred earth worms, a disgrace.

Is it safe to come back? Asked her neighbor, anteater Girdle.
I doubt it, the rest of them said and we are cooking a turtle.
They stayed out of the moorlands for a day and a night.
While Hildy Honey Badger destroyed every dhramned thing in sight.

Mr Honey Badger - Revision

Office manager Mr. Honey Badger called his administrative assistant Mr. Bloodhound into the office. Honey badger was extremely mad because he looked out of his office window and could see that the employees in the office were whispering and snickering and not working. Honey Badger told Bloodhound to go out and sniff out what was going on.

It seems that the accountant, Mr. Rooster, and the receptionist, Miss Hyena were having a torrid love affair. Well, Mr. Rooster was crowing about it and Miss Hyena was laughing about his performance. And to top it all off, Mrs. Mockingbird was repeating everything she heard all around the office.

Well Mr. Honey Badger called them all into the office and sent them to see Mrs. Lion, the HR manager. Mrs. Lion told them in no uncertain terms that if they failed to cease their unprofessional activities at work they would not be returning after lunch.

Mr. Honey Badger never had another problem with his employees.

The Honey Badger

A Honey Badger's on the prowl....

"Don't mind if I do help myself 
With some honey as you guys swarm me
Loudly buzz about my ears, and incessantly sting me
You're all upset that I'm trespassing? Deal with it
Stay mad. You can't drive me off the nest. Sure, I'll leave...
After I satisfy sweet tooth. After all, I'm a Honey Badger! 
Keep on buzzing, and stinging, you angry bees
I will not go deaf, and your stings don't bother me a bit"

The next day....

"Hey there, Black Mamba, I see you up that tree!
And guess what? I'm coming for ya...and we'll duel!
I don't care how big, how long, or how fast you are
You will not slither away from me! 
You'll hiss, and spit, and strike with no success...
 I'm immune to your poison. You will concede defeat
To me. You are my prey, my dinner. Watch me...
Bite your head off and eat you alive!"

Fearfully I Am Dizzy As I Stand Up To the Honey Badger

FEARFULLY I AM DIZZY As I stand up to the honey badger--

Sprinkling fluorescent muted dots of racing shadows,
Fatefully  anxieties hypocrisies dilemmas,
As vertigo swirls away constants fathoms.
"I stand up to the honey badger"


“I fear not the bee stings but run from the honey the badger brings”
---James Edward Lee Sr.

Hibernating Badger

A hibernating badger awoke

      And said, "If this is Spring it's a joke,

      "This is no fun,

      "I can't see the sun."

      And went back to sleep as he spoke.

Badger and the Muffin

Once there was this badger;
he was really selfish!

He hated doing merger
in hunting for fish.

One time he found a muffin,
and hid inside a coffin.

He had a delightful munch,
enjoying his early lunch.

He was so satisfied that he slept;
shadows of the sunset soon crept.

"Good evening" he heard from outside;
"How are you getting on inside?"

Slowly the coffin lid was open;
the badger's fright was sudden!

It was a face of a vampire he saw;
quickly the badger was on his toe.

The fanged being was very worried;
the coffin belonged to his friend, Alfred.

So fast and far away he ran,
afraid of being the vampire's fun.

He had to look for another hiding place to eat,
far away from places where vampires meet.
