Subject: Teaching bees to bumnble words
When I was a youngster (in the 20's) my dad used to recite a little poem, part of whch went like this: I know a man whose task is humble. He merely teaches bees to bumble and setting hens to swim. So well he does his task appointed, folks keep passing double jointed complaints on him. If anyone knows the rest of ther words, they'd be appreciated.
