A bee in your bonnet
Meaning Preoccupied or obsessed with an idea. Origin Thought to have come from Robert Herrick's poem, 'Mad Maid's Song', 1648. Ah! woe is me, woe, woe is me! Alack and well-a-day! For pity, sir, find out that bee Which bore my love away. I'll seek him in your bonnet brave, I'll seek him in your eyes; Nay, now I think they've made his grave I' th' bed of strawberries. | ||||
