Bumble, stung by a bee

Fun fact of the day: despite being stung by bees or wasps in the past and have no problems beyond the then immediate problem of, you know, being stung by a bee, one can be stung by a bee and then develop a systemic infection that can mess you up.  

I am living proof of this.  Stung on the back of my leg by a wasp who decided crawling up my jeans was a great idea.  This happened on Sunday.  By end of work day Monday, my whole leg was on fire and I wasn't feeling too hot. I went to the Doc who said it was a good think I came in so quick because it was spreading up to my torso and I would have had a whole host of different problems if that had happened.

So now I'm on antibiotics, pramox, and benadryl for the next ten days.  As of this moment, my leg is still burning like crazy. 

And so now I respond with song.  Below you'll find the lyrics to "Bumble, stung by a bee" to the tune of "Eric the Half a Bee".

Enjoy.

As a “Bumble” bee

I philosophically

Must ipso facto like a bee

But now I be

Due to a stinging bee

A medicated entity

D’you see?

But stung by bee?

How can it be?

So viciously

Below my knee?

And now infected

Systemically

Due to this recent injury.

Singing.

La dee dee

One two three

Bumble, stung by a bee

A B C D E F G

Bumble, stung by a bee

Can this wretched Bumble be

Medicated under her knee

With antibiotics taken twice daily?

Yes! Bumble’s been stung by a bee

Fiddle de dum, fiddle de dee

Bumble, stung by a bee

Ho ho ho, tee hee hee

Bumble, stung by a bee

I hate that hive employee-ee

Who stung me accidentally

One evening climbing under my jean

I hate him constantly.

She hates him constantly.

Semi constantly.

The end.
