A Fly Had A Question

Inspired by The Fly written by Walter de la Mare located in A Children’s Book of Verse, Illustrated by Eric Kincaid, Poems selected by Marjorie Rogers. (Brimax Books)

Buzzing buzzing from place to place he stop here there

Investigating this he taste taste saying not not not

Antennas wiggling here click click he rubbed them together saying wow wow

I have a job when they say go away that’s what he say now now

Crying tears of rejection he say I am not wanted wherever I go because I bring a surprise

Calling Poppa God he say why they say I bring pestilence and disease?

Compassion ruling his heart and mind he said with patience all have a purpose, means and prophecy and that is yours.
