IN THE GARDEN

IN THE GARDEN

There was once
A bee
Who as it buzzed
Around 
Saw a flower...

It felt instant
Joy and attraction 
And so decided 
To say hello...

It buzzed about
Singing the "Bee song"
Until the bloom
Took notice
And the two
Began a friendship!

The Bee came 
Ever so often 
And the petaled 
One
Its company enjoyed...

The garden was alive
Wirh the sound
Of their chatter 
And laugh...

All the other 
Greens and trees
Fumed...
They liked not
The disturbance of 
Their peace...

The flower and
The Bee
Their friendship,  continued!

It all went
Smooth
Until one day
The Flower spied
The Bee drinking 
In another blosson's
Company...

When confronted 
The Bee denied
But the truth
Showed in the 
Faltered buzzing...

The Bee was a
Liar!

Angry with the 
Beautiful bloom
It decided to 
Sting...

Big mistake 
This turned out 
To be...

For we all
Know
What happens when 
A bee stings...

Another moment 
It does not live...

And so the Bee
Was gone
Peace returned 
To the garden...

The flower bloomed
And laughed and lived
Butterflies and birds
Were its friends 
And not any longer 
Bees...!
