1. Blow some smoke at the Queen...

She will leave, and the whole hive will follow....

Good luck sleeping, my dear Will...

3. Wouldn't the guards arrest you then?

But the thought of being manhandled by one of these guys makes it worthwhile:


Even more so one of these:

7. no no no. It is supposed to be Hornets

Life is Hell

I saw a genius in the mirror today
he turned around and walked away
it seemed he hadn't a thing to say
instead of learning, I think I'll play

across the lonely beach I wander
on a rock I sit and ponder
why dishes wash and clothing launder
of life I weary of death grow fonder

near the lonely knoll I weep
depression grows, it's getting deep
good things are gone, why don't they keep?
if this goes on I soon will leap

on the lonely cliff I loiter
so much I wished to reconnoiter
she hurt my soul, like a goiter
as executioner, appoint her

alas, the hornets buzzing in my brain
annoy me more than heartache's pain
to fight the world, I need to train
with music and hope, my death's no gain.



Author's Note:
In Matt Groening's book "Love is Hell",
there is a cartoon on 'how to become a
poet' where there is a list of five lines
that Matt suggests you use in a poem. Those
are the first lines of each stanza. He suggested
that he should get a cut of royalties, but I
believe I have made enough money for him by
buying and selling his books.
