Buzzing Ambrosian Decrees

What a treat from the bees
Something golden to please

They’re like a board of trustees
Taking flowers as their fees

Each a lil’ Hercules
Flying miles in the breeze

The fields their diocese
Buzzing ambrosian decrees

Even ol’ Socrates
Who said that being busy

Is just a wasting disease
Without some expertise

Would say the bees’ guarantees
Are nothing at which to sneeze

They say the moon’s made of cheese
And broccoli’s just little trees

But tastier than both of these
By a great many degrees

Is the gift of honeys —
Tip of the tongue analyses

The theme is overwhelming

The theme is overwhelming I think this piece is top notch you did a great job.
Through the arrangement of this piece you can bask in the arts with a good feel
Further, I like the second stanza very good in its form you wrote a materpiece
I'm encouraged to read more of your writings. Lastly, the ending takes you in let's you be a friend.
