Enough of this fusty, dusty
in my stripey overalls,
lugging this basket all over town.
Done with duty to the queen bee.
Gonna shower myself in morning glory,
evening primrose.
Wallow in the yellow zestiness of my labours.
Just watch me.

No longer the worker, it’s time to play. Love how all the elements of this connect together from the morning and evening flowers, to the queen bee, to shaking off the dust.
