Death of a Fly

There is a fly in this house
It can buzz and shout
Flies so fast can't swat nor douse

Buzz around my freshly made coffee
Buzz buzz fast as a wink
Buzz buzz over by the sink

Buzz, swirl over my coffee
Land on the edge softie
Can't stand this fly nope

Go get the fly swatter
Got to get rid of this bugger
Flap, flap right in my freshly made coffee

(Rhyme sort of)

Hahahahaha! I just had a feeling that's how it would turn out. Now what are you going to do with the coffee? I just love it. I am still laughing. Great job! Joseph

Witty poem, Sara. Emily Dickinson wrote "I Heard a Fly Buzz 'Round the Room." But her take was totally different. Enjoyed your poem. And thanks for getting the point in "In Mourning." It wasn't a headline blunder; just a report on how this great man's death would impact legislation. He just died yesterday. We should be mourning HIS loss, not the loss of his vote. Most folks aren't getting the meaning of that couplet, but you did. Thanks! Love, Carolyn

Liked your poetry very much, Sara. Yes, flies can be so annoying. I used to cath them in the air with my hands and fed them to my water turtles I once had...Thanky for commenting "Butterflies"...Gert

I always enjoy a good humorous poem, Sara, and this fine write was certainly that, bringing a smile and chuckle or two in just about every line! Carl.

Hate flies :( But I hate mosquitoes more. I'm actually quite terrified of all buzzing things. Thanks for provoking me to go write a poem about mosquitoes ;) -Grace
