42. Humble B. Bumble : Beedazzled

Beedazzled

The hornets appeared on the horizon.

Zipper was on lookout with Tryin’ Flyon.

The two of them were in an argument

And didn’t see the hornet’s a-flying.

In fear Tryin’ stumbled back and hit a plant,

And all the water came raining down with a mighty splash.

Sound the alarm!  I can’t, Tryin’!

My wings are soaked through, said Zipper, nearly crying.

The two of them ran and watched as above a squadron of hornets,

Crashed down with a thud!

What have we got here lads?  A couple of wet-through bees.

Please don’t hurt us, please!

Oh this doesn’t look good!

Shut up Tryin’, we are not scared of hornets.

You should bee, we’re bigger and stronger that you lousy maggots.

Zipper grabbed his stinger and said en garde!

The lead hornet laughed and insofar,

As to actually consider Zipper a threat,

Grabbed his stinger sword and said ok Bee, let’s!

The two of them fought and soon Zipper was no more.

Tryin’ was desperately trying to find a door,

But he was surrounded, soon to bee pounded,

Like the honey in the hive,

When it was deemed to bee too rounded.

But the hornets didn’t know that the two bees were a three.

Scaredy Bee flew off as fast as he could,

Heading back to the hive and brotherhood.

He didn’t wait to see what happened to Tryin’,

He was too busy screaming and rapidly flying.

The guards saw him approach at an incredible speed.

Who the heck is this?  The fastest bee I’ve ever seen!

The guards said wait!  He said no way!

And he was past them beefore they knew what else to say.

Did he say hornets?  No way, get your ears fixed.

He did, he said hor…He said there were hornets!

With that the two guards turned tail and fled.

The commotion caused by Scaredy Bee was up ahead…
