Swat
wire and plastic
so fantastic
probably the first real
weapon we'll use
wire attached to
plastic mesh
made specifically
for flying pest
yet rarely this rule
is abused
the fly swatter
which is commonly known
ironically shares it's name
one an organation fighting crime
the other it's plan to maim
the fly is a creature
that constantly annoys
buzzing in our ears
that incestant noise
when it lands
it lands on your face
when your sleeping
it's some other place
then at dinner
there's that one lone fly
constantly circleing the table
waiting to light just for a bite
where to swat i am not able
they know we're watching
they know it's war
they know about the swatter
and what it's uesd for
sometimes a tool
sometimes a toy
sometimes it's serious
and sometimes it's enjoyed
one fly can fly and hide
a dozen swings or so
it knows it's being hunted
yet and still it refuses to go
it's not a game it's a war
i might kill hundreds
outside on the porch
the deadly device
doesn't think twice
about life or what it's getting
no gun or sword could claim
the lives the swatter
claims by just hitting
we have what we need
to enjoy the hunt
a clear concious agreed
that death is a must
a mission at the dinner table
or sport on the porch
the death of a fly
is a good report
a special weapon and tactic
to be deployed
wire and plastic
from the annoyed
