Cause For Alarm

by Brent Danley Jones

There is a fatty fat bumblebee on the window sill

Next to the flowers and infront of the trees

Under the shutter brought in with the breeze

After adventuring a thousand miles

He comes to stop and rest a while

The eve grows young as the days turns old

He must arrive home before onsets the cold

Baby spots him first, lets out a squeal

A tasty morsel sized snack before next meal

Little Sarah notes next, gives off a shout

Letting all know a bumblebee is about

Little Danny sees him now without fear

He runs for his weapons, enemy is near

Momma has not a clue what to do

She flees the room in panic, nothing new

Daddy's now got his newspaper ready

He arches the media back, holds steady

There is a fatty fat bumblebee on the window sill

So much trouble by one bee was bred

He starts up and his motor and away he fled
