Battle Fly
Silence fills the night,
I sit here trying to write.

I hear a buzzing round my head.
Man! I wish that fly were dead!

I swat at him, only to miss.
YUCK!! I think he just gave me a kiss!!

The angrier I get, the more he dives.
Is this fly a cat? Does he have nine lives??

You would think by now, he would get the hint.
Yet he continues to act like I am flavored of mint!

That's it fly! You've had it now!
I bet this flystrip could hold a cow!!

He makes a daring dive once more.
This is it! I mean WAR!!

Swatter in hand, fly spray too...
His own mother won't know him when I get through!

Battle time is here, and I'm ready to fight!
HEY! That's not fair, he flew from my sight!

Hours pass, and still no show.
I guess back to writing I will go.

To my left, I give a glance.
I spot him! Perhaps hiding by chance?

I ignore him, and continue to work.
I grab my swatter with a huge evil smirk.

One swift WHACK! That's all it took.
And that my friends, is the end of this book...
