The Flight of the Bumblebee

Buzzing through the air
With your yellow furry jackets
Zipping through flowers
Making quite a humming racket

Silky silver wings
Make your  aviation grand
Your yellow specs of dust
Pollinate our land

You’re a busy little bee
Industrious by the hour
Gathering honey all day long
From every shining flower

Skillfully you build your cell
Coating each with wax
Your work is simply tireless
When do you have time to relax?

Your patience is a virtue
Your labor is a talent
The life of a busy bumblebee
Deserves a crown of gallant!
