Little Bee

(Can you find the hidden message?)

Just be quiet, little bee,
Underneath the yum yum tree,
Sting not anyone but me,
Then I'll sting no one but thee.

Rest not till the sun has set,
Ease will come when goals are met,
Ask no questions, do not fret,
Duty's done without regret.

Choose a song to sing in style;
Only songs that are not vile
Lend themselves to tasks worthwhile
Unto this bejeweled isle
Midst sand and surf. Be versatile –
No harm will come, and I will smile.

Over on the mainland drear,
Nevermore will you need fear –
Escape we did, and now we're here.

Yesterday we made our run,
Oh, it was such joyous fun
Under bright and cheerful sun.

Do be quiet, little bee,
Underneath the yum yum tree,
Many days will pass, you'll see,
Many days both bright and free,
I will sting no one but thee,
Even as you sting just me,
Swimming in the bright blue sea.
