Honestly, did they ask?
Don't I have rights?
I was the last
To be consulted
I should be insulted
Set down in perplexity
It's a mystery to me
And dangerous
Things coming at you
From every direction
A great deal of deflection
Needed to survive
Never mind thrive
So much reflection needed
To analyze
Life's bee hive

Any of them bees stung ya?!
That would be telling! Ever see Humphrey Bogart in To Have and Have Not? Walter Brennan uses the line "Ever been stung by a dead bee?" over and over in that one.........
Still not sure what the fuck it is - I'll summarise it all when I die - of course I'm not offended - I've survived thus far - love the write Lorna
Loved the CARTOON & the SONG ~ Thanks for sharing LORNA ~ I didn't ask to be born either ~ but I chose my MA & PA well and I have inherited a good "Pair of GENES !" My DAD's intellect and my MUM's empathy ~ excellent ! I'll be 35 in September and I have enjoyed every second of the first THIRD of my LIFE and with ANGELA my next two thirds can only be better ~ Tousjours L'Optimist ~ Thanks for sharing ~ BRIAN ~ Please check my POEM and latest fusion on FAVE DAY of the WEEK ~ Thanks B !

Thank you Lorna for my first laugh of the day, (it is 6:40 in the morning at the moment in the UK), that cartoon is wonderful.
The poem is very good as well.
Gotcha! First laugh of the day....... and the winner is!
Lorna,
A great second read after the first... “Wanting To Go With You”(this one made me a bit sad)!
“Who Put Me Here?” gave me a chuckle and yes...a bee can still sting when dead!
Love the cartoon and “Dust in the Wind”(great song)!
You’re at the top of your poetic game again! 😊
