A Bumblebee Isn't Supposed to Fly - A Poem

“A bumblebee isn’t supposed to fly.
The law of aerodynamics or something.
Its body is too heavy and it’s the wrong shape.
The wingspread, too, is wrong for its size and shape.
That makes it impossible that it should fly… But you know what?
The bumblebee doesn’t know about the laws of aerodynamics.
So it goes ahead and flies, anyway.
And manages to make a little honey every day.”

Robert Cormier
