Sweet Degrees
Written by Rebecca Lee Illustrated by Cynthia Lee
Fifteen contented cows atop a hill Spot an approaching colony of bees They have all traveled far with time to kill Supported by the waving gentle breeze These bees are thrilled to learn this semester They’re meticulous, organized, and shrewd Classes teach their young with dancing patterns Each foraging for bright delicious food Tiny gastronomists experiment Syllabi and pedagogy expand They speed along their curd development The class’s cheese thesis cultures are grand And in the grove of sweetly swaying trees, The expert bees earn new degrees in cheese.
