Tactless old buzzing old bee

Posted on March 7, 2013 by Catherine Johnson

I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m a tactless old bee.
I buzz, I sting, it’s embedded in me.
I knooooow I neeeeed to thiiink things through
Beforrrre I get really ribbled by you.
It’s not going to stop me, I’m tactless you see.
I’m a tactless old buzzing old bee!

Catherine Johnson, 2013

It’s March Break with kids home and Phil too next week, so I shall blog a bit less. Have fun!

    I have to let you know how much your posts have inspired me over the last year! Even my PB stories are becoming more lyrical! Thank you!

      Awh that’s very sweet of you, Julie. I think you’ve inspired me to dabble in painting :0) I sang this around the house and then quickly thought I’d better write it down.

  As soon as you have a seed of an idea find some paper, don’t do it the other way around staring at paper

  It sure is. I might use it again for a haiku. Have a great weekend!

How cute! So lyrical. I can see why you were singing it. Yay to you for writing it down before it flew away like a bee!

Have a great time, Catherine, though maybe not restful. I’m sure you’ll be as busy as a bee

I hope you don’t mind that I posted your poem, with attribution to you of course, on Sulia with the suggestion that kids and parents read your daily poems on your blog. Such a wonderful way to introduce kids to poetry and living poets. Both of my kids are doing poetry units in elementary school so it’s on my mind!
