HE CAN’T FLY?

 

 

The bumble bee was out

 

Bubbling in his flight.

 

He’s only about when its windless

 

(Or the wind is very light.)

He shouldn’t be able to fly

 

(They know so much about

 

all the truth that they come-by.)

 

He does have a bulky body

 

With limited sets of wings.

 

Never once fear, His Maker

 

Is fully aware of “minor things.”

 

Mr. Bee bubbles on, quite content,

 

Unaware of his dire predicament,

 

Climbing in/out of deep flower’s vent

 

Pollinating?   Oh, that’s a side-event.
