Victory is Sweet

Our family’s tree- is full of circling bees

Keeping things in order, trying to protect the queen

Swirling and swarming -dancing all around

Spinning like cyclones on a wave, floating Parallel to the ground

Constantly bumping their elbows and their knees

With such calamity and commotion - it’s easy enough to believe

That somethings may get missed and forgotten

But they never fail to find a beat

And dance until the whole trees rocking

On their tiny little feet

🐝

Further down the way, not inconsequentially

Is another tree of bees, and they all often - disagree

About which hive is the greatest

And has the best honey consistency

So, they duke it out in buzz offs - rated in persistency

The winner, wins the battle and title: bumblebee

Becoming master of the neighborhood - and keeper of the trees
