I
am
The King of the Bees!
You might not have heard a lot about me,
I’m not a well known bee;
but, on my throne,
I
alone…
am alone.
That’s the problem, you see;
I ‘am’ a mythological bee,
consigned to history,
as a legend,
a myth (not a moth, a myth)
a marvellous creature
that never existed.
Which is why
I have hereby enlisted
the majorly modern media medium
of…
Poetry!
to establish my existence.
And, by avid persistence,
I shall regain my reign
as the leader of BeeKind.
Soon, my friends,
you will find
the Queen Bee
relegated
to a footnote in the mystery
of ancient Bee history.
.
‘KingBee, King of the Bees!’
.
“Your Majesty, if you please.”
