I find it fascinating...Thanks Michelle and Keri. <br /><br />I find it fascinating that you are a beekeeper, Keri! <br />Here's a little poem for you:<br /><br />IF I COULD BE YOUR HONEYBEE<br /><br />for Keri<br /><br />If I could be your honeybee<br />I'd zip and zoom around each bloom<br />Just like a little jet.<br /><br />If I could be your honeybee<br />I'd spin and dance from here to France<br />And do a pirouette.<br /><br />If I could be your honeybee<br />I’d juke and jive around each hive<br />All the way to Rome.<br /><br />If I could be your honeybee<br />I’d tour the world and then I’d fly<br />Back to my beehive home.Charles Ghignahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16055857831163378156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1460363329148606926.post-90933090840202916922013-07-20T07:21:10.480-05:002013-07-20T07:21:10.480-05:00The natural world is such a marvelous inspiration ...The natural world is such a marvelous inspiration -- I love the "well of COURSE!" tone of this poem. ;-)Kerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07754424789728293252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1460363329148606926.post-87038446286828384382013-07-19T21:17:50.257-05:002013-07-19T21:17:50.257-05:00One of my favorite songs of summer.
