Today a bumble bee got into the laundry room while I was bringing some things in from the car. I quickly had to figure out how to get it out of my house before I could retrieve my son from the car. I shut the door to the living room with my left hand and opened the outside door a little wider with my right foot. Luckily, this worked and I was able to avoid a bumble bee/toddler encounter. It would have gone like this: "Bee! Bee!" (laughter) shriek of terror as bee zooms too close "Bee! Bee! Bee!" (laughter) shriek of terror as bee zooms too close...you get the idea. I'm glad the bee dropped by, though, because it inspired today's poem. Nothing profound, but I think my son would like it. Hopefully inspiration will strike tomorrow.
The bumble bee bumbled in,
excused himself,
then bumbled out again.
Sounds like you averted a mini crisis. I have a 20 year old who would have reacted the same way. :-)

I see a children's book of poetry developing from your April and bumblebee poems. What do you think?
ReplyDeleteLisa, that cracks me up! Thanks, Richarde! I do hope to one day publish a children's book.
