A Poem from Paige

A Day in the Life of a Fly

I bet flies don't cry
Even with all those eyes
And why should they?
They have a good life
They fly around and eat strawberry pies
Big juicy hamburgers
And animal eyes
Yuck!
I bet flies don't fight
No time for that
They still gotta make babies
With that special fly that
Is yet to be met
I bet flies don't feel sick
By the time it manifests
Those 24 hours have had their last tick.
