The Will of a Common Housefly
I of sound wing and happy hops
do declare that I am of sound wing and happy hops.
From person, to creature, to pile of poo,
I am happy to share with you.
Not a drop of hatred do I bear,
though the need to be with you is there.
I of sound wing and happy hops
do declare that I am of sound wing and happy hops.
A light, oh my, I do declare
a most definite signal of human air.
How I love to buzz around,
and drive you to a favorite game.
Tangle in the hair,
take a jaunt along your feet, what a pair.
A momentary hug has arose
as I land upon your pert nose.
Swat at me
Bat at me.
Beat me to a pulp.
I will never die,
and that is not a lie!
My young will come for you,
And drive you totally nuts.
In much the same way
as I made you bay.
Howl.
Cry “Tarnation!”
Oh, how I love that declaration!
I of sound wing and happy hops
do declare that I am of sound wing and happy hops.
Oh… but I love you,
as only special friends do.
Oh, how I dare to
continue to fly ‘round you.
