Another Letter From Mother
~the battle with the bee~
In your letter you ask me Just how I have been I guess pretty good for the shape that I'm in
I went to the doctor I had an attack He said "Get her ready, and I'll be right back"
The nurse then said, 'take off your clothes, gonna check you out from your head to your toes'
Then down to the ER where they put me in bed, Fluffed up the pillow and propped up my head
Then along came someone With a bunch of Rosies and a Bumble Bee flew out from one of those Posies
I screamed when it flew right in my direction Around and around I went running for my protection
The nurse then returned and said "get back in bed,
you've got no clothes on' 'Yeah, I know', I said
I said, 'then you kill that bee' She said, 'where, what bee?' I said 'the one on the curtain, that's looking at me'
'There ain't no bee' she said 'Oh what a shame. betcha can't even tell me your name'
Again she was gone
and I was left with that bee sitting on the curtain plotting to sting me
I slid out of the bed and picked up my shoe
and said 'watch out old bee, I'm coming after you'
With one big swing and a big, big splat then somebody yelled
"My God. what was that?"
Then somebody screamed Call the doctor and another one said 'He is the doctor and I think he's dead'
I jumped back in bed and covered my head Did I kill that doctor
like somebody just said?
Then in rushed the guard and yelled at me 'Did you see a man with a club, tell me, what did you see?'
I looked him in the eye and said "why ask me? I ain't seen nothing
but an old bumble bee'
Then I heard them say 'The doctor ain't dead' another one answered, My Lord, look at that lump on his head'
So now I'm quite exhausted
and kinda nervous too In a few days
I'll call and talk to you Love,
Mother
