I never thought life

would be like this but

I buzz about smelling

like honey and you bound

about looking for fights in the quiet

It's funny

We're a funny pair, always were

funny

a pair

even when you married Mary

(Hah!)

Your children are lovely

they come to visit and they've always

wondered about the pair of us

I do too sometimes but

I'm so out of my depth here, and I'm

old enough to admit it

Even so, I'm happy to be here

old and grey and keeping

bees and you

in the country
