Wrath of the Honeybees
Children's Humorous poem about a boy intent on eking out the last of the fun:: Subtitle "Path to the Bath" ::: pbpatch.wixsite.com/pbpatch
Wrath of the Honey Bees ... Path to the Bath
What did I hear, what do I fear
Water on porcelain oh dear oh dear
Mama just said time for my bath
Dart out door and down the path
Over sidewalk through the hedge
Shove off curb, over the edge
Splash through puddle escape to the trees
Snagged my shirt, skinned my knees
Yay I’m clear, now’s time for fun
Just a few more minutes, there’s still sun
Mom is calling but she’ll be fine
She loves to tell me the day is mine
Catch spiders lizards kiss me a frog
Search for beetles under rotten old log
Climb an oak tree the better to see
Where is it at that buzzing old bee
There above a honeycombed nest
Ooh just taste it, ain’t it the best
Sniff and smell as bees swarm round
Circling buzzing a really neat sound
Stick in a finger for just one taste
Licky sticky yummy gummy paste
More bees are swarming flying about
Fall from tree scream and shout
Whoops! Oops! Ow! That really hurts!
Mean old bees they’re really the worst
Stomp the comb and take off fast
One tasty treat will have to last
Runnin’ dodgin’ swattin’ at bees
Save me Mom! I’ll eat my peas!
Dart in door slam it shut
Sorry for mud and burrs on my butt
Bath time you said I’m ready now Mom
Yes I look like a filthy dirt bomb
Mama shakes head follows her cub
Off with the clothes into the tub
Sighs and chuckles kisses boo-boo
Time for a bath with Winnie the Pooh
