\n<\/span>And they roamed \u2026 just\u2026 freely?
\n<\/span>How could it be? Where could they fit?
\n<\/span>The book says they were huge \u2013
\n<\/span>What could they possibly find to eat?<\/span><\/p>\n
\n<\/span>Made by bees, as part of their bee-ing?
\n<\/span>What was its taste? It looks sticky,
\n<\/span>And rich, and \u2026 luscious.
\n<\/span>How could bees make such a thing?<\/span><\/p>\n
\n<\/span>And people could choose how to live?
\n<\/span>I read it was only fleeting,
\n<\/span>A passing moment in time,
\n<\/span>A mistake, really, no doubt.<\/span><\/p>\n
