Oh Honey Bee, Honey Bee, how you sweeten me.
My vibrant pedals burst and I smell like herbal tea.
I wait so patiently for you to accompany me each day.
But after a brief, pollinating visit, you quickly flutter away.
Oh, how ignorant am I to think I'm your only flower,
And how I envy my competition that I wish I could tower.
Oh, how I wish those flowers could wither or rot in their patch.
Then our love would be inseparable and we'd be the perfect match.
What lonesome grief I feel when your presence isn't here.
But I blossom and bloom astounding joy when you are near.
A fickle, a tickle, I get when you pollinate my bud.
But now, oh precious darling, you've left me a dud.
My roots stand firm in my yearning for you.
Though I sway in the breeze, my love is never through.
