Michael Coy Poet Rhyme

A Fly on the Wall

Is this the Situation Room?
They’re talking of the Big Kaboom.
It must be done to save Ukraine –
though only insects will remain.
Strange species – they decide their fate,
but females don’t participate.
Continents affected – five.
Just flies and roaches will survive.
Aloof, detached, fly on the wall -
I’ll still be here, boys: go burn it all!

I'm back, editing my comment because I don't see a Soup Mail icon on your page. What to do! I am pasting part of the sponsor's instructions which I can come back and delete if you cannot. "SATIRICAL VERSE imbedding the idiom A fly on the wall in the text" Michael Coy November 25, 2025 at 9:20 PM Hi, CayCay! A huge 'thank you'. First, my Soup Mail doesn't contain anything recent, but I'm grateful to you for catching my stupid omission. It has now been rectified. You're a good friend! Michael
