Three fireflies arrested on suspicion of arson
Two horseflies galloped of into the sunset
A butterfly landed lightly on the toast
The houseflies awaited the delivery from Door Dash
The dragonfly went out for a Knight on the town
The May fly may not

Once I saw a purplish oblong tangerine,
Standing near the hydrant on Sixty-first
I wondered what it could possibly mean,
Then, I was overcome with dreadful thirst
When I watched it skitter quickly away
I was transfixed by its stark underbelly,
Joining a cantaloupe on a teeter to play
While a pigeon danced in a jar of jelly,
The sound of a toad lapping up its milk
Told me reality had not departed from me
Sounds of tongue-in-groove are tantalizing
Especially when crawling over a cup of tea
Are my fellow horseflies merely fantasizing
Or are they, like me, oddities analyzing?

Who opened the door to let horseflies in?
The madness of pursuit - the blood its win.
The bum - offed its keep - not fed.
This bugger did die in bed.
Who opened the door to let horseflies sin?
