The House Fly Hunt
Their eyes move in rhythm of the housefly flight
Up and loop, straight and back, down and around
Snap! Snap! Snap!
Eager bites for the winged vermin of flight
Tails wagging, bodies bouncing a dance in air
Grasping to catch what is no longer there
Two little doggies on a hunt
Two little doggies on a quest
They want to devour that flying pest
The housefly dive bombs around their heads
They bite and snap and bump and bounce
Jumping to catch the elusive prey
The housefly just buzzes away away
Two pairs of eyes are glued on his hide
Watching where ever the housefly flies
Like radar their ears are perked up
But away away he flies and flies
Then he turns into the window
Buzzing fiercely at the outside sky
But two little doggies triumphantly jump on the couch
And the housefly is trapped between glass and two snouts
First Kublai snatches the housefly in his mouth
His buzzing makes Kublai spit him out
Genghis licks up the fly but cannot swallow
Kublai nabs him and smacks and smacks
Genghis licks Kublai mouth
But the housefly has been devoured
Their eyes slither and slide
Watching another housefly buzz by
