Neither a lender nor a borrower be.
Don’t be a
borrowing bee,
Be a burrowing bee.
Make your nest in the masonry.
Make your home
Between the bricks and stones.
Dig out the grout.
Excavate and carve a
Cave for your larva.
Then don’t hesitate,
Put out a buzz to call your mates.
Don’t leave it to chance,
Summon more bees with a bee dance.
Tell them all
To make their homes in the wall,
Then that will make
It shake and fall,
To bring the ceiling falling after
Shattering joists and breaking rafters.
From the ruins some will fly free,
Swarming, homeless debt-free bees.
