Fly Swatter


This is the story of a humble house fly,
Whose destiny one dogged fly-catcher crossed by.

As it went about its business humdrum,
To Dr. Hanasoge, it posed a conundrum.

Many a trick, his diabolical mind would create,
The bug's agility though, he would continually underrate.

Every attack, the little devil evaded,
Making its nemesis look increasingly jaded.

"Eureka !", he at last exclaimed, "This time I cannot fail",
As he brandished in his hands, a 12 inch scale.

Patiently he waited, then carefully aimed,
In one fell swoop, the little life was claimed.

With that story of how Rome fell,
The poet laureate ends his doggerel.
