Saved a bee from drowning Was trying to get out Of the situation it was in Without the wonders Of the industrious bee There would be no us There would be no we I put my finger in the water Let it know i meant no harm Placed it in the sun to get warm Heavy laden with pollen on its legs Reminded me of the workhorse i once was Under my breath I Thanked the bee Let him know the flowers of the sweet peas are to the left of me Without the wonders Of the industrious bee There would be no us There would be no we I picked it up and placed it on my knee To dry the tiny droplets of water on his body So it could fly again, be free I sipped on my coffee and kept it safe As others of its kind buzzed around my face Those of the same hive kept me in my place Ensuring its state of grace Without the wonders Of the industrious bee There would be no us There would be no we It was testing its wings Lots of weight for this bumble of bees Hindered by its work ethic It will become a tale most epic It lifted off slowly from my knee Hearing the buzz of its wings Circled me for a count of three And landed back on the stoop next to me Did the famous dance we all see Telling others to be nice to me I put out my hand for it to land i smiled as it knew the plan And did so, with the sun glint off its wings Without the wonders Of the industrious bee There would be no is There would be no we It was there only for a moment And took flight to its hive Leaving me piece of pollen As a prize, much to my surprise As it flew out of sight, Happy that little fellow stayed mellow and did not sting like ali in the boxing ring, I leaned back into my chair and took another sip of coffee Happy i wasn't attacked by his posse Without the wonders Of the industrious bee There would be no us There would be no we
