Humble B. Bumble : 11. Bee-for

 
 
I’m no social butterfly, but I buzz from flower to flower.
I talk to all as I do the rounds, but my resting face looks dour.
They think that I am feeling sad,  
Even when the sun is shining on me;
They don’t see me as a buzzing bee.
They don’t see me working for The Queen.
 
 
She sits upon her majestic throne and watches us pass by.
We all seem to bee happy; the work keeps us in tune,
But one day soon, this little buzzing bee,  
Will bee found staring at the moon.
 
 
The moths say they can do it;
They’re gonna fly up there one day.
They see the light and all its might;
They have big dreams, I would say.
 
 
My dreams are only small hopes;
I am not asking for the moon.
I’d like a bee to fly with, so with her I could share my jokes.
I want to make her laugh and smile;
So I would appreciate it if I could meet her soon.
 
 
I collect all the honey and build octagons;
The perfect shape to make the most of the honey we consume.
I don’t need a large pile of honey,
To build myself the future I believe I am due.
 
 
You see my heart is limited;
It only has space for two.
You and me; me and you.
The sound of my buzz is out of tune.
