Bees Knees I've always heard are good
It would take a lot to make a mess
How you would fix them I'm not sure
Maybe Bees Knees and Gravy I guess...

I was young, you were born
Just a little thing, six pounds
Well things changed quickly
Full of life and enormous energy
You grew up and took flight
You are the bees' knees!

Honey Dippers

bees caress 
petals blend
sweet nectar

honey comb
pressing fun
yummy treat

tea for two
honeyed sweet
tasty lips

delightful
succulent
the bees knees

Humble,bumble bee
One season's life,fly free

Working the summer scene
Unless crowned,as May Queen

Sometime cousin cuckoo,comes to stay
Her offspring eggs to lay

A nursemaid,then,Spring to Fall
'Til Winter's death knell,calls...

What?
A world with no bees?
No buzz waves heard in the sky or pollen in the breeze on bees knees as they follow their antenna towards nectar wells?
Oh my!
All the time bearing life for so many.
Oh my!
What?
A world without bees would be no world at all.
Oh my!

Happy is well-being, when beauty's in the seeing.
Happiness is quiet calm, a balm like a psalm.
Happy is bees' knees, not knowing of bees' knees being!
Happiness is the calming balm of a love's gentle palm.

You’re the bee’s knees between my knees.
Sweet as nectar, 
Tart like blood.
A wolf in sheep’s clothing
Shopping for sheep,
Shopping for mercy,
Shopping for me.

To the naked eye
You’re just fine
But to the naked touch
Your skins too rough.
Your eyes too beady. 
You’ve lost your touch.
The lone wolf in sheep’s clothing
Losing his meaning....

love isn't a mask for sex
its the person who could make your life a success
lust is just pleasure you don't ever need to like each other
love makes ya interested
lust keeps it going
If its both you probably found someone so magical
don't blow it

life isn't a chase
i'm just gonna live it
gonna pursue my dream
of PHDs I'll be the bees knees
with or without ya
I'm gonna be the best I can be....

Feel so full

Ever feel full but empty too?
Just a number at work but what you gna do?
Father at home, the bees knees, their favourite guy?
Try your best, a smile, a joke, don’t ask me why...
Empty, but yet so full.....life? Repetitious but anything but dull. 
Am I ungrateful? Don’t know what I’ve got. 
A trade, a Mrs, 3 kids?
I’ve got a lot..
Changed my mind... it’s not empty at all, 
Take a step back, see the bigger picture. 

Stand proud and tall....

Bees Knees

In the trees, bugs that hum and sing. 
Can you believe that? 
What a crazy thing?

(bugs) Some hop and jump, others just fly. 

Bees… sing, 
what a special, special thing! 
Humming songs to the flowers, 
all over the world, 
singing words unheard, 
except by the very young, 
and the very old. 

Without them this world will die. 
Their song… sweetly, softly dissipates…
Bees, have a secret. 
They know the words to the hymns, 
of heaven. 

Listen. 
(if you can)...
