Bonnets And Bees

by Sankey

Got up early this morn

With a 'bee in my bonnet'

Now sleep is gorn.

I hope I get back

To make up the lack

I dowanna stay up till dawn

A friend said "sleep's overrated!"

Perhaps we could say even "dated"

How long has it been

Since a dream was your scene?

And your sheep counting effort was sated.

Now before all you yanks and rebels and politically correct, or phonetics graduates get into me, please remember I am in Australia and while something in the offering may not rhyme in 'Up North" or "Darn Saouth" Uncle Sam land, believe me "Down Under" it does. So where I come from 'morn' and 'dawn' do rhyme, ok! Thanks to all my Aussie supporters out there who DO understand.
Explanation: In some parts of the world to have a 'bee in your bonnet' means something is bothering you, or as I said above bugging you.
Picture is from a mug a dear friend gave me for my 40th birthday. (More than half as much again, ago, now, sigh!) It also had on it 'Life begins at Forty' I just happened to snap this gem or another version of same before we chucked it as it had broken.
