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
