hey, valsa! just before reading this the thought came that i was like a bee visiting my favorite ph poets. on this limerick and the picture—yikes! hoping you're well in all ways, glen
Enjoyed your comparison of your visit to the PH poets to that of the bee's visit to its favorite flowers! Thanks a lot Glen!
This lovely Limerick is truly fun giving. Reading this lovely Limerick we get joy again and again. This poem is very uplifting..
Ouch poor honey money guy. He should have worn protective gear but this was fantastic as a limerick parody. Kudos. So nice to read from your inking again, Pleez do comment my newest poem too titled, 'when life was really child's play'
Yes he should have taken sufficient precautions! Thank you Zaynab!
Oh ho.... Poor fellow, there is no gain without pains and this pain he will remember for long. Nice humorous Limerick with great photo in support...10+++++
Thanks a lot Asim! Next time he will think twice before setting out for such an adventure!
Ouch...yes...we can guess...it just happened to me last summer: and, you won't believe where was that honey-bee: at the sea!
So you know how it is! Bee sting can be very painful at times! At the sea, honey bees are rarely present! How did it happen? However, thank you for relating your experience!
A typical one on bee sting. Sometimes it goes fatal. Hope this one is not so. Thank you Valsa George...10
Sometimes bee stings prove fatal! Some are allergic to the poison! That way how helpless man is! Thank you!
Very humorous picture...poor man...a good limerick with a message of caution....thank you Valsa...a 10 with a big applause
Yes, he is to be pitied! But his foolishness alone landed him in such misery. Thanks Indira ji!
A wonderful Limerick dear madam! Without delving much into the text, I just imagine the miserable plight of the gentleman from the photograph! You have really mastered the art.....enjoyed the humor! (10)
Bee sting! ! ! Very painful! ! ! ! ! Thanks for sharing this poem with us.
Dear Valsa, you are not only the queen of Limericks but also a poetess with a great sense of humour. As always, loved your Limerick. :) .......10
Thank you Geeta for this great title - Queen of Limericks - though I don't deserve it! Yes, I am trying to be humorous!
Beautiful limerick as also the flight of imagery of childhood nurtured wonderfully. Thanks for sharing.10 points.
Thank you dear poet friend Ratnakar! Glad I could hear from you after so long!
My God, without giggling we cannot stay for longtime. This is a lovely fun giving interesting Limerick. Honey bees' sting has poured the power of honey in service. Finally he shook the branch for getting some money and bees gave him gift. Amazing sharing! ...10
