Found a delightful sight as I gazed in the yard
The asparagus had flowered
The morning glories vined, intertwined, & flowed ‘round, quite bizarre
And in the distance I spied a flute,
a flower I’d never seen before
Unfurling and twirling, lifting up where down before
And that’s when the lady, so small, did appear
Not a Queen, but a worker, gathering pollen, so dear
She busy-ied and bustled, she crawled wherever she stood
And it clung to her desperately, hanging on to whatever it could
The bee 🐝 did not mind, for she knew it was just her lot
To go & to go & never be allowed to stop 🛑
For Nature is sweet and Nature is cruel
It depends on precisely what’s at stake in the duel.
