Aju Mukhopadhyay, IN   The source of this Rhymed poem was an advertisement in the daily newspaper, The Hindu dated, 7.9.11 which contained these three prose lines: "Scientists bewilder how a bumblebee flies with its disproportionately heavy body weight To its light wingspan; It’s a clear violation of aerodynamic laws".   Rhymed Poem   Bumblebee Bamboozles   Flashing like a busy black diamond Appearing from an unknown beyond Settling almost at your nose tip Whirling still with a whiff Giving a momentary shock it flits easily As you’re nonplussed, in flurry And settles on a flower, knotty bumblebee; Whimsical and dangerous it seems. At a great speed fluttering its wings Humming restlessly here and there Black strong and stout, whiz past you Bamboozling like a tormentor, A perfect gift from God; true. Scientists bewilder how in the air does it run With its heavy body weight, disproportionate To its swiftly moving light wingspan; It’s a violation of aerodynamic laws, they bet. But there are laws beyond assumption More wonderment at every step beyond our horizon; Nature has more in store To shock the recalcitrant therefore.
