The Housefly

I chased that thing all morning But he always got away He must have found a hiding place Somewhere safe to stay He was on the kitchen table Then on the bedroom door I probably looked like an idiot Crawling across the floor I chased him to the fireplace Then too the window screen On to the kitchen counter Was the last place he was seen While trying to eat my breakfast He just sit there staring at me I finally caught him just for a second But again that thing got free I decided that he was smarter than me So I gave up and went to bed That's when I heard a mighty swat!!! For my wife had killed him dead
