SWEET NAMES

We all have a different name for our mate;

Some to please, and, some to aggravate.

Some go by Sweetheart and some by “Bud.” ^[1]

Some answer to Darling, and others to “Dud.”

But the sweetest name and the stickiest too

           – like glue;

Is the one made by the bee – called “Honey.”
