    like his meals, Petey sure is picky when it comes to camp personnel and campmates

    It doesn’t have to be the same bee, as long as it responds to the same name as the last bee and dresses the same

    Petey doesn’t want to be a “B” about it!

    Okay, Petey, it’s good that you’re trying to put limits on your neuroses. Now we have to enhance that effort to place limits. Everything cannot always be static. Change is good.

    I can’t read anything without thinking of something else I’ve read.

    That bee.

    Emily Dickinson wrote in the realm of 1800 poems. Fully 10%, over 180, mention arthropods… butterflies, flies, gnats, spiders… and over a quarter of those specifically reference… bees… and she used… eccentric —punctuation.

    ~~~~~~~

    To make a prairie it takes a clover

    and one bee—

    One clover, and a bee.

    And revery.

    The revery alone will do,

    If bees are few.

    Hey! Did Petey actually, you know, enjoy camp last year?

    It will give him a chance to polish up his Toad Zombie Story. He’s still not quite sure about that panel on page 734…

    Petey needs sameness that comforts him, change of the least bit annoys and aggravates his discomfort. He is hyper sensitive that way. Monk the detective is that way.

    “BEES A COM’N”

    A bee a day gives me pain,

    I’m only free with the rain,

    when the bees come I’m a pray’n

    Buzz’n and buzz’n leaves me a frey’n,

    Be it Heaven or Hell sent,

    I gots’ta beeline it out I went,

    Bees in my bonnet,

    Flying with a comet,

    Bees a com’n at us,

    Bees a go’n splatus,

    Bees are best around flowers,

    Gives me a rest and hot showers,

    Buzz, buzz buzz away,

    Eat’n the honey makes up for the stings today.

    Our Petey (My Hero!) has realistic expectations! Who’d expect the very same bee? —That would be silly!
