She ate the fly and it
Never even tickled her
Throat. She trapped the
Little fellow when she
Applied the mustard to
Her HUMBO GUMBO BURGER.
Before she could replace
The sesameed top the fly
Dropped in for just a tiny
Bite. It loved mustard. So,
When the light when out, the
Poor thing forgot to escape.
Stuck in this delight of
Meat and onions, it didn't
Call for help, or struggle,
Or try to fly to freedom.
It could only savor what
Had trapped it as it waited
For the quick death of the
Ivory guillotine. But it
Didn't mind. The fly had
Expected to die in a worse
Place and it understood, as
Only a fly can, that it isn't
So bad to die immersed in
Something that is loved so
Much that its taste is more
Powerful than life or nothing.
