A Valentiny Compromise
Bear and Bee were enemies,
but both were fond of sweets.
Bee helped create the honey
Bear dearly loved to eat.
(This is a honey of a fable.)
Bee grumped about this crime
that hungry Bear would take
the dripping, nectarous delight
that Bee herself would make.
(No amity available.)
Bee buzzed from bloom to
hive,
doing her furtive best
to keep the humming low,
befuddling Bear in his quest.
(Bee was, it seems,
unstoppable.)
Still as she frowned and flew,
Bee began to vacillate.
She noticed fresh green
leaves
were all that Bunny
ate.
(Bee thought it was
remarkable.)
And buzzing Bee saw also
the love Bear had for
flowers.
He sniffed among the blooms,
took naps in them for hours.
(Perhaps beliefs are
breakable.)
At last Bee understood,
thought it would be a
pleasure
for each to take a part
of every garden’s treasure.
(Good thinking made her capable.)
Valentines spread love around
and share sweets all the day.
Smiling Bee proved willing to
give some honey away.
(Show kindness when you’re
able.)
Bee buzzed around and round
the Bear
sending clues of love that’s
sweet,
led hungry Bear to an
abandoned hive
for a tasty Valentiny treat.
(Be sure ALL come to your
table.)
