Hey, check out this oldie but goodie post that I wrote back in October of 2008!
Recently I was using a computer at the library when all of a sudden a woman with 2 under the age of 3 years old and extremely loud children peers into the computer center.
Involuntarily my eyes began to move heavenward and I said a mental prayer that the woman and her 2 kids wouldn’t sit at the empty computer station next to me.
Apparently my prayers were answered a few seconds later when they moved on to another part of the library.
After silently rejoicing, I got to thinkin’ a bit.
I ain’t gonna’ lie because part of me was so happy when the mother and her 2 kids didn’t sit down next to me because…

Hi folks, this is a fictional children’s story and song that I wrote for people of all ages who believe in the power of love. (Because I sure as hell do!)
Chorus:
Rock, Rock, Rock
Rock N’ Roll Honeybee
Rock, Rock, Rock
Rock N’ Roll Honeybee
Rock, Rock, Rock
Rock N’ Roll Honeybee
Hey!
I’m a good ol’ bee
You can always count on me!
Chapter One:
One day Tina was sitting in Math class.
She was so bored, she found herself looking outside the window at the grass.
Right next to it, some kids were sitting on the playground.
Above them a honeybee was flying around.
The kids were drinking milk and eating cinnamon rolls.
And the radio was playing some good ol’ fashioned rock n’ roll.
All of a sudden the honeybee stopped flying around.
And sat down by the radio which was on the ground.
The honeybee stayed through three rock n’ roll songs.
Then moved on when the kids started playing a game of ping pong.
All of a sudden an idea hit Tina right away.
She was so excited she could hardly wait for the end of the school day.
The idea was about a cute little honeybee.
That was later to be me, Rock N’ Roll Honeybee.
Chorus:
Rock, Rock, Rock
Rock N’ Roll Honeybee
Rock, Rock, Rock
Rock N’ Roll Honeybee
Rock, Rock, Rock
Rock N’ Roll Honeybee
Hey!
I’m a good ol’ bee
You can always count on me!
