Flies In Disguise
Are they flies on a motorbike
Because that’s how they sound
Wearing yellow striped jumpers,
Whilst they’re riding around?
Are they short legged spiders
With cool super powers,
Who love hopping about
And sniffing the flowers?
Are they big hairy moths
That come out in the day.
And think my packed lunch
Is somewhere to play?
Are they miniature mammals.
That can glide through the air
And never get cold
Because they’re covered in hair?
Are they small aeroplanes
With miniscule pilots,
That descend from the sky
To dive bomb the violets?
They come out in the spring
As they don’t like the snow
And one thing’s for sure
(If you’ve seen one, you’ll know)
They are grumpy and rude
And don’t beg your pardon
If they try to push past you
When you’re sat in the garden.
