Strange Happenings in the 70's
I bumped into a bee, for one! Buzz, buzz…
Hmmm… I’m thinking!
I believe the strangest thing that happened to me was when I, as a preteen, bumped into a bee! My friend, Rita, was over that day. We were running around in my yard as kids do, either talking or singing, when zoom, a type of a bug flew right into us. I’m pretty sure it was a bee. Regardless, it was a buzzing kind of a flying insect, so perhaps it was a fly, or maybe it was just some smaller kind of flying bug. Either way, we survived, and the insect might have hung around a while. And bees definitely chased us around that day.
I’m glad we just bumped into them. Imagine if it flew in one of our mouths, and then … gulp …. ? Scary! I’m not allergic to them, so most likely would have been okay. Not sure how the bee would have been! Now that would make an exciting science fiction novel.
Hmmm, I’m thinking again!
The science-fiction novel is a thought that I can ponder on for now. But here is a fun little poem created from bee inspiration:
The Bee Buzz…
Ah, the ’70s, got to love them.
No computers or cell phones,
To keep a girl indoors
