Beven was a grumble bee who liked to stay in bed
Whilst all her elder sisters were up and quickly fed.
Her Mum said “Come on Beven there’s lots of work to do –
Your busy sisters go to work, and you must do so too.”
But Beven shut her eyes up for she liked her life of ease
She grizzled if she had to work, and didn’t want to please.
She grunted when the day was hot; groaned when it was cold,
Said “I’m not the sort of bee who likes to do what I am told.”
The bees returned with nectar, to find Beven getting up
And Mummy gave them honey drinks inside their little cups.
Do you think that Beven had some? Not likely, for you see,
The lazy bees, the grumble bees, get nothing for their tea.
