Notes About The Poem

For contest written November 23, 2025 sponsored by Suzette Richards

Fly on The Wall

If I was a fly on the wall
I could spy on them all
I’d set up in the situation room
And listen to topics and then zoom

I’m on top of the Epstein files
Which surely smell to me by now
Full of conflict sordid pasts and greed
But I wouldn’t know as flies don’t read

I’d find the nearest pile of stinky poo
I’d do just what flies love to do
I’d linger a while then fly away
Finding the White House too boring to stay

Love the satirical humour, Karen ! Nice rhymes too, with the final line flourish too good to be true ...B blessed far away from White House ! X.
