The Dirigible Balloon
Poetry for Children

Furry Busybody

Bumble, bumble, bumble,
Bumbling about,
Bumble, bumble, bumble,
Buzzing in and out,
Bumble, bumble, bumble,
Collecting nectar sweet,
Bumble, bumble, bumble,
Making honey for us to eat,
Bumble, bumble, bumble,
You’re a favourite to me,
Bumble, bumble, bumble,
The humble bumble bee!
