He has a bee in his ear

There was a bee in his ear. He did not know why. But no matter what there was a bee in his ear.

He woke up one morning and there was a buzzing sound in his ear. At first he thought he’d just just slept wrong on it. But when he looked in the bathroom mirror a tiny bee was looking back. A tiny bee face with tiny bee eyes and those annoying loud, but still tiny, bee wings.

He tried to pry it out, but that just made his ear bleed. Which the bee greedily drank.

He tried to shake it out. But he could swear he heard it shouting “wee”.

He tried to burn it out with a match. But all that did was light his hair on fire. And he was certain he could smell roasting marshmallows.

And just when his wife was about to call the funny farm he stuck his head in a tub of water. And he left it there until the buzzing stopped.

The little bee climbed out of the poor mans ear when the paramedics fished him out of the tub of water.
The bee landed on the poor grieving widows ear and thought that this would be a good home.
