Bountiful Bee Hive Betty has her hive all ready.
There is honey to be made, all sweet and steady.
Buzzing around for attention is her beau, Wasp Eddie.
He is totally in love with the beautiful Bee Hive Betty.
Go away now, she tells him. The queen is near.
I will get back to you later, when it is convenient, Dear.
Wild Wasp Eddie gets on his motorcycle and zooms away.
Impatient beyond belief but returns the very next day.
