This song is in the form of a classic ballad: it starts in medias res and a lot of action and imagery. This is The Witch of the Westmoreland sung by Stan Rogers, with very nice images.

Who invented The Wave?
Hmm, the liberal media? Or was it the homosexuals? Precocious preteens? Not the Jews?
Whoever invented it, I was certainly unaware of its existence when I was Cardinal.
though not the same Bee I rescued a hive of Bees that had made a home in a box spring matress
was very impressed with watching them move as if they were one animal. They finally left the mattress taking almost all of there honey but leaving the comb.

I see why you like the bee wave, it reminds me of cephalopod polarized skin signaling. Very cool imagery.

sORRY, wrong thread. I thought I was in a fresh version of the Endless One. It’s still a good song, even though the bees don’t know the words.

Imagine being the guy responsible for hoisting David Attenborough aloft to face a few thousand angry bees. It must be like being charged with hanging the Mona Lisa while balanced on an officechair.

Hiveless bees. I wonder how they deal with high winds and rain.

Bees? Sometimes it is so damn frustrating being on dial-up. I miss cool stuff. Only a few months until wireless though.
