Written for:  dVerse Poets Pub - Quadrille #171:  Poetry is a Kind of Gasp
(posted by whimsygizmo)


They called him
The Great Gaspbee.
He never fumbled,
or bumbled about.
His hive was neat,
and very sweet.  His
honey was thought
superior by the Queen
who had a tendency
to favor him.  Well
loved in the colony
for his sociability,
and song.
