A night ago I saw a man catching <br />Bees to take honey from the hive <br />Caught he none but for honey he <br />Dived and dived and dived. <br />Evening descended, he got nothing except <br />Fat and even fatter bee stings! <br />Got he himself a net then, <br />He was now going for revenge! <br />I saw him in his battle for long, <br />Just when the clock struck ten <br />Kites, children and sun were gone but our <br />Lion, fighting the bees, refused to go to his den! <br />Men came and walked by, <br />Not that he even cared. <br />Opposite the bees he fought and forgot his <br />Pain. Just when he was going to win, <br />Queen bee came and stung him! <br />Ran he straight to his safe house, <br />Shut his door bolted it upright. <br />Tomorrow maybe, he will continue his fight! <br />Up in the morning he went again, <br />Vicious plans in his mind, but a <br />Worker had already removed the hive! <br />Xenophobia stuck him, in anger he <br />Yelled at the worker. He went home then <br />Zanier he became, he says, 'When will the bees come? When? '<br /><br />Aditi Khandelwal<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/man-vs-bees/
