When Rog and Ron Tipped Over the Beehive It Caused Mom and Rags Much Stress

When Stress Comes

When stress comes unexpectedly into our lives,

the only thing to do is face it head-on.

For there are bees let loose from their hives,

to sting us until we get them long gone.

But, busy bees of the hive hierarchy,

redirect, multiply and newly begin.

They have little memory of past regress,

as they rebirth over and over again.

When you know you have swatted them,

with what you thought was a final blow.

Only to return later with the same old,

same old as though they didn't know.

After reminding them that they cannot win,

with their tiny bee brain mentality,

it is time to put their perpetual ruse,

into the trash bin of perpetuity.

When through with the new reminder,

it is time to stop working and relax.

Once you put that queen bee to rest,

stress will subside, but never totally lax.

The nature of stress these days,

multiplies in many, many ways.
