'Take me a ride' <br />said the ant to the bee.. <br />'take me up high <br />in the sky so i'll see' <br />'but we've been there & back <br />said the bee with a frown.. <br />'the last time i took you <br />you begged to come down..' <br />'this time i will do it' <br />said the ant to the bee <br />'I'm ready to fly <br />don't ya worry about me' <br />So on climbed the ant <br />as they flew in the air.. <br />and the ant got a bee's <br />eye view from up there.. <br />But the bee had to get <br />back to working again.. <br />as he landed the Ant <br />said 'i'm thankful i am' <br />'i'll be there for you when <br />you need me dear friend. <br />I'll re-pay you this ride <br />when i come back again..' <br />The bee felt so cool, <br />as he buzzed all around. <br />and he told the story <br />to every bug that he found.. <br />Soon a Butterfly came <br />& she seemed all amused.. <br />so the bugs said 'please tell us <br />what has you so confused...' <br />'You silly old bugs' <br />said the bold butterfly <br />I've hauled 200 aunts <br />on one 2 hour fly.. <br />they always thank me <br />for their time in the sky <br />it's payment to bury <br />My wings when I die.. <br /> <br />by Connetta Jean<br /><br />Connetta Jean<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/ants-and-wings/
