Six-stepped--a 2 step, as performed by bees. :) The meter is uneven on purpose. should give the weaving feeling of a bee in flight.

Folklore is that Igor Sikorsky was inspired to invent the helicopter by watching a bumble bee (_Bombus americanus_, plural, _Bombi_). For the longest time, it was thought to be scientifically impossible for bumblebees to fly, given their mass and energy consumption. It's all about the lift, really.

Again, perplexingly obscure reference, for the literati and the geeks here on the ranker. And, of course, for the gardeners cum entymologists among us.
