The fly and the bee

Your “Spring is Here” cartoon brightened my day because it reminded me of a silly poem I learned also. 1 don’t remember who wrote it, or where or from whom I learned it, but it might amuse your readers and their children and continue to do so in the future. And who knows, somebody might know more about it than I do. Fiddle-de-die, fiddle-de-dee: the fly wants to marry the bumblebee. Said the fly, said he, ”will you marry me, and be my little honeybee?” Fiddle-de-dee, fiddle-de-die. ”Why would I want to marry a fly;” Said the bee to the fly, ”you’d better flee, you fly; Or I will sting you and you’ll die.” And she did, and he did.
