Santa and the Busy Bumble Bee

There was only one thing busier than me, Santa thought, putting up his tree...

That was the grotto bumble bee !

Together the pair buzzed, getting ready for Christmas day...

Wrapping a million presents, to take on his sleigh...

There were hundreds of mince pies to bake....cards to write and decorations to make !

Mrs Christmas made a list...

Of everyone under the mistletoe to be kissed...

They started early...got up at four...

To get their jobs done on their round the world tour !

By time evening came and the Sun set,

The fire was lit and there were were glasses of sherry to get !

Exhausted and tired, Santa sat down...

Not having spotted who on the chair had flown....

Perched on the cushion....resting his wings...

Sat the bumble bee buzzing Christmas greetings...

SPLAT ! Santa crashed ...

The bumble bee's life before his eyes flashed !

He dodged out of the way...at a hundred miles an hour...

Off to rest somewhere more comfortable, like a daisy flower !!!
