Bee

And then pell-mell his harvest follows swift
Blossom and Borage, lime and balm and clover
On downs the thyme, on cliffs the scantling thrift
Everywhere the bees go racing with the hours
For every bee becomes a drunken lover
Standing upon his head to sup the flowers

The Land by Vita Sackville-West

I like the idea of bees getting drunk to stand on their heads and sup from flowers. I bet some even do it sober.

Oh, what a wonderful thing to be,
A healthy grown up busy busy bee;
Whiling away all the passing hours
Pinching all the pollen from the cauliflowers.

I think I prefer Sackville-West to Arthur Askey!
