Thread Name: Where do bees go to die?
Subject: RE: Where do bees go to die?
Wrote a song parody on an old song challenge thread that seems somewhat appropriate.....
Beeline Talkin' Blues
Well gather round Cats and I'll tell you a story Bout how to pursue scientific glory Get you some bees and a diode or two A few tiny pins and some crazy glue Double sided poster tape, transmitters and all that jazz
Well I got me some bees, matter fact quite a few Loaded em up and away they all flew Jumped in my van, I'm trackin' em down Radio signals on the far side of town Clover, fireweed, wildflowers and farmers fields.
Well they buzzed to the east and they buzzed to west I followed one, just doin' my best Headed way out to a wheat field stand To keep her in range I pursued in the van Following blips, through fences, makin' crop circles.
Just then she headed back on to to the road I bumped back out, just listen to her go! I followed her in hot pusuit She was zippin' along, she knew her route Headin' for greener pastures, makin' a bee line.
Then I turned north just as she turned south The result of which there was no doubt Up on the corner of my window screen A few metal pieces all red and green Squished bug, cashed in her IC chips, some form of road kill.
I stopped the van and started to grievin' A cop pulled up said "Man you were weavin'" He asked me to step out of the car Said "drivin' like that you won't get far" Impaired, without due care and attention, DUI.
He arrested me and he put me in jail Went before the judge to tell my tale The judge said son "I believe your story, You were just pursuin' scientific glory!" Go publish a paper, where bees go, maybe get yourself a Nobel Prize
