Aviaries–they house birds;
Apiaries, bees.
Aviaries–they are spelled with V’s
But Apiaries P’s
It’s funny, isn’t it
How small the difference be
Between the names of houses
For birds and honey bees?
But then we shouldn’t wonder why
The difference is scant
Both creatures use the air to fly
Both pollinate the plant
And then the adolescent tale
Would never mean as much:
Unless you had both birds AND bees
Explaining sex and such.
They both have sweetness in their beaks
The bird of course in song
The bee out from the flower tweaks
Its honey thick and strong.
Lets be like birds and bees–
Our unique talents use;
To heck with V’s and P’s,
Let’s watch our P’s and Q’s!
