Notes About The Poem
i did not realize the contest had a limit of ten lines. Here is the original.

A Fly on the Wall

If a fly on the wall I could be,
some celebrities I'd want to see -
like the ones that got missed
from Sean Diddy's guest list.
I'd get buzzed on a fact-finding spree.

Bugging homes in each fine neighborhood,
I would spy like a covert fly should.
My enquiring mind
would some cover-ups find
as I flew around all Hollywood.

Bored with wicked rich stars, I'd fly to
where the schemes of elitists I'd view.
Just beware. Flies like me
are as sly as can be,
and right now I am looking at you!

Oh, you goofed, too, by writing more than 10 lines, a much easier fix than mine. Shame about the minimum because the entirety of the poem is entirely good!
