Bug Eyes


   The fly swatter is out,
   Bugs are all about.
   How could that be,
   What I see?
   
   Has many legs.
   Not a spider,
   Or a fly.
   But something fanciful on the eye!

   Swatted quick to the ground,
   SMASHED FLAT!
   Legs waving all around.
   "You killed my lashes", she wailed!

   Carefully,
   I slunk on by.
   Didn't realize,
   It was it was part of her eye!
