Firefly

Fly, little lightning bug
Flurry in marsh and field
Flash your flame at twilight
Flirt in the dark of night
Find yourself a new mate
Fascinating glowworm
Flourish in great numbers

I was kinda in that mood when trying to find 'F' words that hadn't been used by many others. Thanks a bunch, Anne-Lise.

In that case, Jan I hope I’ve adequately described the beauty of their lights in flight. Thank you.
