Faffed Finery

Mr. B. I. Bumblebee

a bumble bee
in all his
faffed finery
swings 
in the gentle
breeze on
a yellow 
goldenrod
trapesse.

he’s a buzzy,
fuzzy fellow
busy fetching
golden rod
glitz to
ferry to
a pollinators
posh party
looking for
a rather late 
season mate

could you,
would you, 
address him
please as, 
“mr.
bombus 
impatiens" 
as he's
he's feeling
quite flirtatious

For the Record, 
This day came in cooler with increasing clouds

All hands sad
