Dems were Bees-Bees were Dems

(Univocalic jab at Barbadian Politics Using the Vowel "e" only)

let see, help me see

when Bees selected Dems they were Bees

the best feeders seeded the bees’ nest

expelled renters kept the whey

flexed knees wheeled self-respect

speech defects depressed the rest

extend the scheme when verses rhyme

when Bees were Dems they vexed them

let see, help me see

when Dems were Bees
when Bees selected Dems
the best feeders seeded the Bees' nest
expelled renters kept the whey
flexed knees wheeled self-respect
speech defects depressed the rest
they fled

these speechless freezers
deflected rejects

see the mess deep stress

when Bees leet leer Dems
leg byes leery ledge between Dems sneeze
when Bees were Dems

we speechless

we eye-lens bent
when levee level the ley

the press help repress
then secede them

deflected rejects see the mess deep stress

when rebels’ legends wheedled the free press

deeds reflected the embezzlement

they resented the rhymes we expressed

never defend them
when leery deeds
emerged them

free press smell Dems’ feet between the Bees

plenty Bees see vexed Dems

when nested Bees, never flee

were Dems Bees? Yes
were Bees Dems? Yes

when Bees see themselves entrenched

then the press crested members’ senses

smelled spent sperm ... fewer weeds between the trees

the eyes see
fewer Bees in the nest

hewers’ hex behest between

when Dems bedded Bees they wed

creepy
greedy

be jeez!

they set the cresset

the creeps’ speedy jeeps deflected 

jeez! they fled

when Dems' feet dent the Bees' nest
they fled the berth
bereft
