Insecticide Story

A butterfly filled a buttercup
With mead for the bee she was buttering up
"Marry me Bee?"
She said with glee
As he bumbled about his toadstool seat!
"To be
Or not Two bees?"
He mumbled
Then stumbled
On his six humble feet
Two refills later he'd acquiesced
And nodded his "Yes"
To the sweet Princess
But said
"You won't survive
A honeybee hive
We need to escape to where we can thrive
And together we'll fly
Or together we'll die"
The butterfly fluttered at the words that he'd muttered
But would not show fear at the warning he'd uttered
This cross pollination of insects forbidden
The love that they felt must always be hidden
Unless they broke free and their love passed this test
They'd not marry to build a butterbee nest
So they filled up their cups
And proposed a last toast
Drank insecticide each
And gave up the ghost
