Cause For Alarm
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
